This.
We have samples sent out every oil change on the Z06 and our race bikes. When you have lots of money in a vehicle, especially one that is highly modified and making lots of power (600/580 at the wheels) you want to know what is going on inside your motor and see how things are wearing.
If you drive your car hard, track days, drag racing, what have you. This is a good thing to do. It lets you catch a problem early on before it becomes huge. Things like pre-mature bearing wear, ring wear, etc can all be detected early on by having an oil analysis done
