Default Stock rear
How hard should I be able to launch on the stock rear without breaking something? Car specs in Sig. 3000-4000? Car is 6spd

I have seen stock 6 speed cars blow out the rearend. Its just a throw of the dice with the pathetic 10 bolt. Some are lucky, others are not. If you put some stickies on and go to the track, Prepare to have a trailer as a backup form of getting your car home.

"Launch", "10 bolt" and "M6" do not go together very well. FYI.

Your only real option is to slip the clutch but that leads do dead clutchs if not dead rears
