Question How easy is it to bend an axle?

Think I got a bent axle on my LS1 6 speed, Ive done a search and found tons of ppl with same problem... car weighs in at almost 3800 with me in it, drag radials, stock gears, done some launches that caused the clutch to slip instead of tires spin, is a 360rwtq car powerful enough to bend an axle alone?

Assume youre talking about twisting it? Yes, a bone stock car can break an axle or pretty much anything else in there from a hard launch on DRs.
