Twisted Stock Driveshaft in Half (Pics) Went to Capitol yesterday. The car ran a best of 11.81 @ 118 NA. It was spinning a little bit, but on the third pass it hooked hard and snapped the DS in half. 
This was on E.T. Streets, and a 3800 dump with Spec Stage III clutch. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I thought I'd post some pics.

Seems like yours put up more of a fight than mine did. I twisted mine about 6 months ago on BFG's dumping the clutch at 3500. Mine twisted closer to the tranny side though. Might want to try a stock steel one. Don't hear of many people pretzeling those.

Talk to Jason at Fbody Central...he can get a steel driveshaft from a local shop in Glen Burnie for cheap. It was somewhere either $150-$250. He was also able to get it made in ~2 hours.
