You may be right, but I'm sure that those of you whose cars are under
warranty would not really like to take your car to the dealer for this.

I can see it now:
Autocrosser: "Hi. I'm autocrossing my car. Can you prove to these guys that
the widget is within specs".
Dealer: "You're doing what! Hey Joe, call the manufacturer and have this
guy's warranty voided".

So, in the big picture, it may be very expensive to go that route.
