So far the M3 diff is still alive. Not sure for how long. M3 Shafts are stock also. This car does not have a drag radial on it but a road race tire which doesn't really get full traction in first gear anyway. It is a 315mm tire though. When it breaks we'll build a custom 8.8 setup for him!

Well the stock diff didn't last very long. We fixed the problem with a completely custom fabricated 8.8 IRS with 1000hp axles. NASCAR style sway bar in the rear also so it's completely adjustable and can change rates.
