Don't drop the soap! You're on borrowed time...

I was hoping my 10 bolt would take me to 150K at least, but I've gone 130k and its dying. It died due to having to park in a place that forces me to do a lot of steep angle left turns.

Normal driving killed the previous 10 bolts on my other Camaro. Don't waste money on the 10 bolt, save for the 9 inch and don't look back. Unless you are A4, then 12 bolt.

You can break the rear end with a stock M6

I broke mine easily at 370rwhp. Of course that was a 4500rpm clutch dump at the track with drag radials... Yes, you will break yours easily at your power level, if you try to launch it hard at the track. If you take it easy with the launches, it will last a little longer, but you still need a 9 inch. I should have bought a 9 but my 12 bolt has held up just fine so far.

I'm not liking this thread. I'm fiending to go the track but I have to be able to drive home also. Guess I'll be bogging off the line.

I agree. I know someone who broke his with a stock SS. Fortunately for him, it was still under warranty.
