Warranty? YES.
Voided because you track it? NO
if you do NOT modify the, car, engine or special tune the PCM, YES you have a warranty.
We have had guys with STOCK LS7s go on track to be replaced under warranty.

By way of formative feedback... I love that GM is trying to give us track people what they think we want. They missed the mark. Have they seen the Mustang Laguna Seca edition?
I want:
1. Functional front ducts for the brakes built into the splitter that actually cool the brakes.
2. Rear spoiler is great!
3. A radiator that keeps the car from hitting 230+ degrees in weather like VIR.
4. Good brakes from a name brand. (How did the Camaro get Brembo?) Replacement cost for rings and racing pads should be reasonable. People that actually have to pay for replacement ZR1 rotors would give up the weight savings for a real cost savings in replacement parts. That's why people who buy GT3s change to steel brakes for track day use.
5. T-1 suspension with coilovers and track tuned shocks.
6. Wheel bearings that can survive racing slicks.
7. Ball joint rubbers far enough away from the rotors that they don't fry!
8. Integrated roll bar or at least harness bar for 6 point harness.
9. Built-in tow hooks like all German cars.
10. 18 inch front and rear wheels. Have you ever tried to find and buy 19 or 20 inch racing rubber?

Le Mans Master
The "Track" Edition should come with a radio/nav delete, A/C delete. ABS delete, lexan instead of glass option, most of the interior deleted, 1 seat that's set up for "track work." The other seat can stay in the CRUZE.
Oh yeah, lastly, a dual clutch automatic trans that shifts like the factory C6R's do...
Last lastly, change the step from 4th to 5th to become a usable gear for track work. Leave 6th for Bonneville....

18" wheels are the big part.
Non Brembo street brakes but real brakes like StopTech or APracing. Brembo racing brakes and parts are just too expensive
Banana brake pad design just not enough clamping force for track guys. We brake LATE, not endurance racing type braking
Steel Frame - to weld a roll cage too.
Bare bones interior. Radio and AC delete
cheap seats as we will replace them.
Programmable PCM & no TPSM - But that will never happen - goberment regulations.
Mechanical door latches not electronic for safety
ZR1 close ratio Transmission with a 3.73 rear end - Giddy UP -
Tow hooks are easy to install.
So things like that.

thanks for sharing! i agree though nothing "track" about this car. looks like another parts bin shuffle. Katech's club sport, now that is a true "track" Z06.

the Grand Sport with manual trans and the dry sump IS the track corvette.
I still request the Body in White track editions and the only option is
LS3
or
LS7
