Mitsubishi is voiding motor and drive train warranties including transmission for any cars that participate in an Sports Car of America (SCCA) event or any other timed event.

It seems that Mitsubishi has set up an automatic web search that looks for registration and results information for any Mitsubishi. They then capture the race results information, match it to vehicle purchase and service records and proactively put the car on "warranty restriction". Those of you with new cars, may want to not list the actual car make or use a screen name.

I bought this car for my son about 2 months ago. The voiding of the motor and drive train warranty is especially puzzling to me as I was completely open with the dealer that sold the car to me, that I was going to allow my son to participate in SCCA events -- even invited the sales person and his manager to come for a ride along. Was the dealer's response to tell me that this would void the warranty on the new car? Nope. His response was "...what a cool way to keep your son from getting in trouble on the streets."

Sure would have appreciated knowing that parking lots and cones would void the warranty on the Evo. I guess although the car is "race inspired", Mitsubishi considers chasing cones at 25 to 60 mph in parking lot to be too much for their "embodying everything a performance enthusiast looks for in a car" model.

I think this is the part where Mitsu sucks my cock. No doubt this is why they're in the shitter. "Please, race our 'race inspired' cars so we can void your warranty". What a bunch of dipshits.

if the car/warranty is already bought, i dont think they can just up and decide to change some aspect of it.

They aren't. It clearly says in the warrenty that racing will void the warrenty. They are just no actually going out and looking for people doing it.

That was brought up in the other thread also. They are fully with in their rights. But it pissed the other people off, that they were so willing to do so. And they started arguing that driving through cones was not racing.
