Are you ready to hit the race track with your brand new, high-perforance ride? Be sure to check your warranty ahead of time! Autoblog Editor-in-Chief, Michael Austin, shares recent research conducted on car warranties. The results were surprising - It turns out many manufactures state that you are not covered if you abuse your car on the track; therefore, any damage that happens as a result of racing will be an out-of-pocket expense for you. Michael highly recommends consumers keep cars in stock condition until the warranty is up to avoid unforeseen headaches. We dive into the research to make sure you get the most out of your warranty. | Listen to Full Episode #280

Want to take your late model car to the race track? You may want to think twice - It could void your warranty.

The pony wars are back and top OEM's are upping the ante on horsepower. Case in point, the new Camaro 1LE (the track package for the Camaro ZL1) is designed to be track-ready with a 0-60 MPH in just 4.2 seconds. Michael Austin, Editor-in-Chief of Autoblog, dishes on this aerodynamic, lightweight edition which he says was surprisingly easy to drive. With the Brembo brakes, forged-aluminum wheels, and a carbon fiber wing and hood, this car was engineered with racing in mind and will not disappoint. Precision braking, steering, handling, and grip make the Camaro glide smoothly around the track and take performance to the next level. It's aggressively attractive and brutally powerful. *Swoon* Designed to turn heads and fulfill a deep need for speed, find out when this car will be hitting a track near you. | Listen to Full Episode #280
