Well I have an aweseom Clutch and rearend, head out to track with some ET streets. First pass I go real easy on the car 2.23 60 foot. 13.33 at 111.02 mph, ok car feels good, track is stickey!
Air down the ET streets, Stage, 3 Grand clutch dump and POP. There goes the damn driveshaft! So I will trailer it home tomorrow. Hopefully I didn't hurt anything else.

Man, that's gotta suck! My buddy's Z-28 went 6.80@103 this week with the stock rear! Strange how some hold up while others won't.

Yes, yes it is

It appears all that was shattered was my EGO and the drivshaft no clunks from the rear when rolled or on jack stand, no noise from the clutch or tranny. A drive shaft will tell though.

111+ with the stock manifolds aint too shabby! My friends '02 Z-28 M6 with nothing more than a GM hot cam, lid & 3" Magnaflow catback went 12.20@116 on the factory 235 radials! Those M6's can MPH like crazy! His was pretty much a stripper though. No power anything!
