Rear End went out on my 95 camaro today- NEED HELP!!!
its been a pretty shitty week. just bought a 95 camaro 5 days ago. and today on the freeway at 50mph i heard a loud thump and seconds later bad grinding until i pulled my car off to the side. got out and looked , only to find a nickle sized hole in the rear pumpkin smoking and a little bit of oil leaking out of it. the 2 shops ive taked to said i will need a new rear end....anywhere from 1500 to 4000 bucks...1500 is fine but i want something beefy
what should i do? i have money but dont want to pay out the ***. i can gte someone to install it cheap..someone who knows what they are doing. so what rear end should i go with? this would be for daily driving and occasional track use. the car has 400hp right now. so i want something that will hold the power no problem.
any suggestions will help. what should i do and what rear should i go with?
should i get it rebuilt with some beefier parts or go with a new one

You could get a bone stock posi rear maybe with 3.42's from a junkyard, I pay $250 for them. And then upgrade that.
$1500 isn't going to buy you a 9 inch or 12 bolt.

if you dont want to worry about it ever again i would say go with a Ford 9" or a Dana 60. Now if you have an automatic you could get by with a 12 bolt. But if your a M6 you will definately need bigger than a 12 bolt. I wouldn't even waste my money on another 10bolt if you have the funds.

I wish there was an 'in between' rear. I have a near stock 2002 SS with an M6 it sure as hell doesn't need a dana 60, or even a 9 inch or 12 bolt. I wish someone made an 8.5 GM for it. I don't like the looks of the torque arm mount on the ford 8.8's for f bodies. Something under $2000.
I've run 11's with a big block and an 8.5 with about $800 into it, seven years now and no problems, if someone would just make one for an f body I might get one.

There are plenty of M6 cars with 12-bolts behind them doing just fine.
You must be realistic about what you want to do with your car. Is this your daily driver? Or a race car? I would go to the bone yard and get another 10-bolt and give it a proper rebuild and it.
I'm not trying to insult you, but an aftermarket 12-bolt, Ford 9' or S60 rear might end up costing more than another used 95 camaro.
