al, racing does not void a warranty unless specifically spelled out in a sellers agreement. which GM does nto currently require, and no dealerships that i know of who sell GM products in NJ have.
also, do you think i am gonna call a dealership and say"hey, i was jsut doing the pikes peak hill climb in my brand new solstice GXP. funniest thing, i hit a tree and the wheels came loose some how. can i get that fixed under my warranty?"
you also fail to see what i am talking about with what i wanted in the car. i don't need a computer to tell me how i want a car to turn. i do not like such devices, nor do many other competitive minded drivers. upgraded brakes, sway bars, and shocks are all good things,maybe even options i would look into picking up. what i am not interested in is having a computer try to tell me what i want the car to do at a particular moment.
there is a big difference between the base model 177hp car that is available and the same platform with 260hp. that is more than a little upgrade under the hood, kind of thing you will notice in such a light car.
GM is missing out on many thousands of sales a year because of their option packaging and pricing structure. this is stuff you learn in basic marketing classes as a freshman in college, it is prolly even in a lot fo high school business books.
GM shoudl be making model variations available to ALL consumers, not jsut some narrow band who are willing to pay top dollar for every do-dad and thing-a-ma-jig they can strap into a car. there are now and always will be more lower optioned vehicles than top end models.
