a C5 rear and shafts are about $1500-2000 around here, install is extra of course, aftermarket rears/diffs are mostly over $3-4K, with some in the $5K range for full out race rear. I'd get some enjoyment out of the one you have for now and if it doesn't break, great, and maybe have a replacement on hand encase it does so you don't have as much down time. Not all the C6 (05) rears break, but there has been a good number of them that have already, but there has also been a good number of aftermarket rears w/ braces fail already as well. I still have yet to hear of a C5 rear/shafts to fail.Good luck in your build .

Even the C5 rears break. I had mine break the cross shaft and the spider gears.

The C5's are definetly weak, but no where close to the C6's! I watched TWO C6's back to back break their shafts in the rear and they were completly stock! I didnt wanna race my car anymore after that! LOL
