The only death trap for our diff's is wheel hop, and if you bang a gear too hard

I dont launch my car, nor do I track it.
So spend $1200 and buy a new gen 4 diff from gmparts. Seams like an easy cheap fix if you dont beat on it.

We'll that turns this issue around

Warranty? Oh shat, just dealer hop until someone replaces it. I got 5 or 6 rears while I was under warranty.

I'd like having a whine so it would sound like a blower car...

I blew my diff 2 days after I bought the car in 2010. Bitch grenaded on me in second gear with my dad telling me how great of a car it was lol. Warranty replaced it and towed it and what not, but if I could do it again I'd go with something more reliable. Like a c6 or a c5z

Performance wise, I freaking love the car as a daily. As far as fit and finish.. its nasty, in a bad way. I think for high teens you can't beat the v1 if you are a performance guy looking for a good daily and something kind of nice. I'm going to daily mine for a few more years then switch over to a v2 wagon most likely. Easier to justify to the old lady and is very practical for kids and pets and can still be taken out with boys on Saturday for a little fun.

If you can get $25k, sell that biotch right now. I have much more money tied up and couldn't get that. And I have the bullet proof rear.
