Fabricated stories don’t end anything. I don’t masturbate to pictures of GTR’s…just your mom, and usually she helps me out with that 😉 Ooh, look what someone just posted on corvetteforums in the thread I linked to! > [@SIr RicCUs"](#): > > Man, this is terrible. I heard about this through the grape vine and couldn’t believe it. > > Not too far off from the crazy warranty voiding that GT-R owners are worried about. :lol: No fucking shit it’s not too far off, but there’s too many tards out there to make the connection. MPD: Not fraud/false marketing? I’ll quote something else from that thread, because he summed it up far better than I could have: > [@captain454"](#): > > Oh no, I didn’t miss the point, I just realize that the point of his posts and yours is total BS. to build a car with features designed _specifically_ for track use, and then void the warranty on the car if you take it on the track, is FRAUD. Plain and simple. I’m suprised GM doesn’t void the warranty on every Z06 right out the door, after all, it comes with a factory installed dry sump, and the ONLY reason to have a dry sump is for track use, therefore the owner must be tracking his car. > > BTW, just where is GM allowed to draw the line, can you answer that for me? Is driving the car like it’s on a racetrack while on the street covered?? What about driving the car on a racetrack, but driving it really slowly, does that void the warranty? Just how many G’s are we allowed to pull in this “track ready” car, 0.8? 0.9? 1.0? Maybe we aren’t allowed to use more than a certain % of the throttle without voiding the warranty? After all, using 100% of 505 HP motor is only acceptable in “racing” conditions, right? > > Bah, in the end it doesn’t really matter. GM wouldn’t stand a chance if this went to court. ---

I’ll quote something else from that thread, because he summed it up far better than I could have: Man, you’re really good at quoting people on the internet, especially people equally as retarded as you. Here let me put this into an easy to follow analogy for you. Your boyfriend says if you go out to dinner with him, he’ll plow you in the ass, but ONLY if you don’t hit on your waiter. You hit on the waiter and then throw a shit fit (pun intended) when he WONT plow you when you get home. Faggot. GM’s warranty says NO RACING, he went RACING, hence, no warranty. ---

Could’ve been some other guy ranting about how he can’t drive. I’d at least like for him to come on and explain in greater detail 🙂 MPD: You’ve got a lot of gay thoughts on your mind, care to explain how many people touched you as a child? I still find it ironic how both the GTR and Z06 can come with so many things (launch control, dry sump oiling system) that you can’t use, even though they were DESIGNED FOR IT. Get the dick out of your ear buddy, and try and keep up…I’m keeping the conversation going at a nice slow pace just for you. ---
