Okay, so I need to clear this up in my head: Gen 1 rear came stock in 2004-05 LS6 models, Gen 2 rear in 2006-07 LS2 models, and Gen 3 rear in 2009+ LSA models? If so, how do you go about getting a gen 3 rear in a V1? If not, please clarify for me.

When in 2008 did they come out? I bought my car in November of 2008 and my car shows much of the evidence of being driven like it was meant to be driven by the previous owner. Some of the key clues to that are a blown diff bushing, CAGS delete, and a cat-back that was already on the car. The diff wasn't replaced under warranty(but the transmission was along with a bunch of other stuff), but that doesn't mean that the previous owner didn't pay out of pocket for one to be replaced. I drive the hell out of my car and I haven't had any problems with mine even after some horrifying wheelhop. What are the visual differences among the generations? I swear I learn more about these cars every day.

You most likely wont break unless you go to the track.
I have videos on youtube racing evos and e46 m3s from a dig when I was stock.

^ As far as I know nobody has blown a gen 3 rear and very few gen 2 rears have broke.
Some people have better luck than others and like someone else said, it can usually take stock power unless you are at the track. Records show that my diff was replaced in November of 2005 at 11k miles..lol. I bought mine at 40k, it now has 56k less than a year later with several track passes and beating on it on the street, but I never let it wheel hop and as soon as it does I get out of it.
