Does anyone have a stock aluminum driveshaft they're looking to get rid of? Mine's bent and I need to get this car back on the road. Let me know what you guys have got.

Decided to stick around for a little bit longer. There was a guy up in Richmond that said he'd be down this way to pick up his motor from VA Speed. He told me he'd bring his stock driveshaft down for $75 but then he just sketched out and stopped answering my messages. Now I'm about to drive to Raleigh to go get one.

Pm Dragkid1917. He's one of the guys I was talking to about getting a DS. I'm not sure if the one he has is steel or aluminum but he only wants $50+shipping for it.

You're telling me. It was like a 7 hour round trip to pick up a stock part. If I didn't want to get this car back on the road so quick I would have gone for an aftermarket steel piece. Oh well, the new stock one's going in tomorrow and she'll be back on the road ready to drain my bank account.

Thats the one....

Mid $50s, which he actually didnt pay for his, for a big 425hp luxury boat is not out of the question these days. And it is a performance car. Even with it being 3900lbs, its still capable of some mid 12's.... With a good launch of course. The Srt8 300C has already been mid 12's numerous times in stock form and it weighs over 200lbs more.

When Shawn is done with it, Al will still have less in it then a Viper, and be a ******* beast on the street!!! While still utilizing all the comfort features of a "luxury" car. Cant really complain there....
