Wow.. that's awful. But it was a stock part built for a stock car. My guess is you're not stock. Hope you get it fixed.

I can't believe that thing cut through all that stuff the way it did.... even at 6800 rpm the teeth on there aren't that sharp. It really walked through a lot of ****.

Good luck man hope u get your car back on the road quick.
