Re: 488 GTB/GTS
pride355:kingjr9000:One of the members on mclife said that taking your ferrari out on track will void the warranty. is that true?
No. The biggest proof is that during the Ferrari racing days, Ferrari owners track their car, in front of Ferrari officials. Only the modified cars warranties void.
I know this from first hand experience, at the Ferrari Racing events in Istanbul (back in 2014), Ferrari official who is responsible for the after sales and warranty took vin number of a car (or two) during the track time because the car(s) had aftermarket exhaust and told the service manager to void its warranty.
I kept tracking my car for the last 3 years and when I wanted something unusual from Ferrari italy, the service always mentioned Ferrari that I spent many miles on track so know what I'm asking for.
This is a Ferrari event...we talked about it previously that manufacturers usually don't void the warranty for customers who use their cars during manufacturer organized events.
Those aftermarket stuff issues are common with all manufacturers. Whenever Porsche officials are around, they check on cars with obvious mods and write down their VIN numbers. Actually, even dealers are obliged to do the same but of course many don't want to p.ss off their own customers and sometimes those mods (exhaust, wheels, etc.) are actually installed/sold by the official Porsche dealers.
