Default Rear End Carnage

I broke the rear end in my car about 3 weeks back. It is currently on the way to DTE as Phil is very helpful in getting me back on the road again.

Not really sure yet. I am waiting to hear from Phil on the cost of repair and what is still salvagable.

Damn that sucks, mine did almsot the same it took a shiot on me from wheel hop while warming up the tires just before I staged. I just bought a used Z06 rear end, and had Rodney installed the hardened shaft since it was still in once piece. Definitly sucks, get the Tranny brace that will help out quite a bit.

What stage rear end did you have Mark ??

I am asking because I have the stage III, and hope to keep it intact for a very long time.
