Maybe you know how to drive?
My experience is they are stronger than most people give them. Best I've cut was a 1.73 but I make no boost off the line with an M6 and no two step. It's been down the track a hundred times, lived through many autocrosses and has nearly 100k on it now. Sounds like a bunch of loose marbles in there but it's still hanging on! I have a 12-bolt for when it lets go.
BTW, looking good there. LT1?

You have an automatic. It's not that surprising. You don't see the shock of a clutch dump that would sheer teeth off. They're known to live long lives even at the track with an auto.

An auto preloads the drivetrain. It doesn't shock the rear like a clutch dump. That's what breaks 10 bolts.

Does it have any upgrades? Differential? I've always felt like the weakest point in these rears was the side gears, followed by the ring and pinion. Great 60 foot times!

Edit, saw the other thread. Impressive.
