If it was close to stock or stock I doubt you'd see any catastrophic breakage. I know plenty of new high performance car owners and they drive their cars like they stole them. Never saw one with a major drivetrain component failure. The last big one I heard about was related to coolant hose blow off in a nearly new Ford GT. Car ate the wall up at LVD hard. Supposedly the cost of the car was "taken care of" because the collateral damage occured from a failed item that was known and recalled. I don't know the specific details of this or accuracy but the car was supposedly taken care of.I agree. Just curious if John Doe bought one, brought it to the strip and ran it for 10-15 passes unmodified, something broke, then warranty claim denied for abuse when all they've been touting is its a "10 second car on drag radials".
Time will tell. And like you said, guaranteed some dickwad will throw a pulley and spray on one, screw something up, put it back to stock and make a claim that's denied because his GoPro footage showed he abused it.
I'm mainly talking the average buyer who does no modifications whatsoever to it.
