Stock clutch can still break the rear, so I'll say rear.

Who said the motor? One of your girlfriends? Your 6-year-old sister?

This isn't even an argument. These cars are known to break the 10-bolt stock with an M6.

It's the damn tail steering wheel.

Ha, I'll be #432,938 to say it's the rear. My stock clutch outlasted the rear by alot.

The 10 bolt is the weakest. You can destroy the 10 bolt with a stock engine/clutch car. The rear will probably 90% of the time break before anything else when you do **** like clutch dumps @5K.

In my case though one of my connecting rods went before anything else.

I would be surprised if anyone says anything BUT the rear.

Who the **** suggested the engine? If it were not for that engine GM would have sold 4 Camaros and 2 Firebirds during the entire 4th generation production run.
