Default replace driveshaft?
Is the stock driveshaft on my 02 SS adequate for a few passes at the strip this summer? Car is making 395 rwhp, rear has been upgraded to a 12 bolt with 373's. No problems with the driveshaft so far.

The stock driveshaft is known for breaking and turning into a pretzel, and they can take out the exhaust system and put holes in the floor. Bob

I have sold a ton of these over the years, with very few problems. Bob
