Some good-will by Ford could have avoided this whole thing perhaps...
I can see two possibilities why Ford won't honor the warranty if coolers are added. The original (low) base car MSRP didn't charge enough to warranty track use and/or they don't want to acknowledge the cars need them.

My earlier point regarding 2014 post on this topic is that there were a lot of people that recognized the limitations of the base cars right away. They were not intended for track use and it was discussed and is in the manual. It shouldn't surprise. Anyway, I'd sure like to see video of a street driven overheating scenario that they will provide the court.
