Corvette Lap Timer/Camera/Telemetry option

Here's the source article: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/01/06/corvette-getting-built-in-camera-performance-computer/?intcmp=features

For discussion sake, curious whether the "hive" thinks this is a good idea or not. I'm going out on a limb here and saying no. I know its a stereotype, but I think there's something to the idea that its very easy to get "in over your head" with a Vette, especially now that they are capable of so quickly jumping into triple digits. I suspect this option will get ticked on a lot of purchase orders for people who have no intention of track driving their cars. Possible end result: what I'd call the "high score" phenomenon. (I've read that a substantial number of the high speed/fatal wrecks on the 'Ring have running lap timers in the car. Similar idea.)

Discuss.

I agree and will add that I would not want to add high res gps and a camera to the things that people (onstar) potentially have remote access to along with throttle angle.

My first thought was who will be the first to have their warranty voided.

The OP raises a good point as well.

Doh! Must have come up for discussion during one of my four trips out to shovel snow today. Sorry for the Re-Post.
