Of course the nut cried warranty all over the place too...

Of course. However I don't see much evidence of excessive user abuse in this case. Unless you know something the rest of us don't...

I've seen engine, trans and clutch failures on other brands in the 20-50k mileage range, I don't know anyone who's had that denied due to track use (vs misshifts, etc).

Nate's ITR went to the dealer with track numbers on it, 49,xxx miles, cage, etc with a bad clutch, replaced no questions asked. Craig's motor went at 10k, spun a bearing, determined that it was an issue despite the cars track usage, replaced without an issue.

The problem here, IMO, is that it doesn't seem like Subaru is even willing to really determine what happened. If it was the DI injector seal problem then they should cover it. If it was a misshift, they should not.

The CSG car is a tracked car, it's not a race car though.
