not really. it is a legal definition that applies to autocross that makes it a car control lesson, not racing. that is why if you have an accident at an autocross your normal insurance in obligated to cover it.
same pricipal applies to warranty coverage. there is a consumer bill of rights that explains it very nicely.
you don't seem to understand what it is to buy a new car with the intention of competing. all of the little bells and do-dads that are wiz bang neato for the consumer public do not apply the same.
it is also a proven fact that people buy cars with fewer options. which do you suppose moves more units the cobalt base with a few options or a cobalt SS with all the options? which moves more units, the caddy cts or the cts-v?
i can go through every model in GM's line up with more than one trim level and the story is always the same, more units of the lower priced version will sell.
everyone understands that some people are going to buy the fully trick out, power everything version. should that be the logic for avoiding selling to consumers who like the styling of a car and want a little more pop under the hood?
remember, they are trying to hit a "target" market, not a pinpoint market. without more consumer options to buy, they will continue to lose out.
