the 2020 gt350 has the same language, so won't be treated differently than the gt500....

I've been following this thread and personally I think its a misprint. Misprint meaning I think someone put 2 commas where there shouldn't be, if you read the base warranty 1st sentence of the 3rd paragraph it clearly states competition or timed events, but on the bottom it says:So I'm going through the 2020 GT500 owners supplement and came across the attached document that says:
What is Not Covered Under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty?
Damage caused by:
• Abuse, competition, racing, track use
or other events.
I sent another email. I am waiting to hear back. I'll keep you all updated. I agree, they put that specific language in there for a reason, i don't think the performance folks want this because in a follow up email he said he thought it was OK for HPDE use. That is nothing you can hang your hat on though, so stay tuned, I'm still on it.

I think ti was suppose to say: abuse, competition: racing, track use or other events which would encompass competition.
And it being in other manuals remember the standard parts are just copied and pasted to each model since its universal to all cars.
But thats my take.
Yes, I agree about the spirit and context of the warranty. This is a drastic departure from all previous years, but it is in black and white and the way it was written is that any track use will not be covered under the vehicle warranty.I've been following this thread and personally I think its a misprint.

Being from corporate america I would assume they would copy the prior years supplement and update not rewrite from scratch but its possible.I've been following this thread and personally I think its a misprint.

Lol!!! Absolutely!!! I am confident this will ultimately be the case.Interesting... A track style car that would not be covered if something happened at a track..... Its also interesting that when someone purchases a GT500, they can attend a track school that is sponsored by Ford to teach them how to properly drive/track their car, up to and including a drag strip.
Hopefully it is a typo that someone over looked. Or else there are a lot of GT500s on youtube not covered anymore.
Do me a favor and have [you know who] call FP and raise a bunch of hell and get this sorted? Its been over a week and nobody seems to be able to answer the question. I have an email in to the brass at HQ, but that was only done late yesterday.Lol!!! Absolutely!!! I am confident this will ultimately be the case.
Be advised that to the chagrin manufacturers, I have been burned in the past by simply asking the question. I found that whenever lawyers get involved, the answer is usually the same...
Bottom line is Ford Performance sold be a bad-ass race car.
