This could theoretically tell me whether the wreck was the result of a freewheeling test drive with TC off, an RPM spike, no increase in front wheel speed, etc.
It'd be the next best thing to a dashcam recording.
Any opinions, or better yet, relevant personal experience?

Ultimately I'm not sure it matters
Car was in their possession and they crashed it
Its their fault and their responsibility to make restitution
NOW.....with that said....what will the impact of having a significant repair on the permanent record of the car?
Loss in value?
I know a corvette owner that was in a similar situation and they stated that the dealership just ruined the resale value of the car and told the dealership they own it now as a result of their negligence and they were paid out on pre-accident value of the vehicle
If you're going to involve the courts then that data could/would help to bolster your case, particularly if speed limit was exceeded, data showed reckless driving/etc (Gross Negligence)
