Rental at Holley LS Fest

There was a new Silver SS convertible running in the 5th Gen class at the Holley LS Fest last weekend at Bowling Green. It was a rental from one of the companies. He did real well in competition. It was running very unimpressive high 14s when he started. Someone had a tuner and applied a 93 octane canned tune to it and got it down to 13.9s. His index was 14 so I expect he did rather well.

I wonder if an ex-rental car company car will retain the remaining months or miles of the factory warrantee? If so, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I rented a Pontiac GXP (is that what it's called?) with the 5.3 engine one time and thoroughly enjoyed it.
