If you mean what ratio, its a 3.70, but as far as make and model, I haven't a clue.

The Zeta platform's IRS is in the back, which is holding up in 600rwhp cars currently. Aussie's apparently know how to build one hell of an independent setup.

Yea there's some wheel hop. BMR had some Control Arms out that really help.


In your case, if it could even be done, for the amount of money it would take to swap in a Zeta IRS, you could probably go with a Madman 9" for your V.

Its the M6 that seem to have more of a wheel hop problem, the Automatics don't seem to wheel hop that bad and no where near the problem that it is in the GTOs.

Been down the track 7 times with D/R's and doing burn outs in the water box and not a hint of wheel hop in the box or out of the gate. HTH
