Broken driveshaft

Happened out at the track. My 1999 A4 Trans-Am with an aluminum driveshaft and new drag radials. I've got 360 hp to the wheels. I figure I'll go to a steel driveshaft now.

That happen to me the other day. I ended getting the steel one for now, I think it would be better if you with an aftermarket aluminum shaft.

Stock aluminum is just for mileage, not H.P.

The PST 3.5" alum driveshaft is a great way to go, much stronger than the factory steel driveshaft. Bob
