Weld ??? It's the same housing as V8 Z28 housing. And with a posi and 3.42s',it's the same as used in the Z28s' with M6.

Sure, you can weld it up, but it will drive like CRAP on the street.

That wouldn't last a mile on dry pavement . can't get the penetration spider to carrier.

I agree. Look, I own 2 - 2001 V6 Camaros, neither one came with a limited slip diff or a Torsen diff. Not that many V6 Camaros
came with them because the V6 Camaro only had about 205 HP, which would have a hard time spinning both rear wheels on
dry pavement, let alone ONE, unless you really want to beat up on your car. Both of mine have 5-speed manual trannys,
so unless I dropped the clutch at high rpm and jumped on the brakes, I would have a pretty tough time doing a good burnout
on dry pavement with big "sticky" tires.

What I would recommend would be to install a good posi diff or find a good, used Torsen diff and bolt it in to your existing housing.
Better yet, find an entire rear end from a late 4th Gen F-Body that isn't trashed, and just swap it out with your existing rear end,
and just transfer the brakes from your old rear end to the new one. Of course, the rear gear ratio will probably be different, so
your speedo will be off unless you go into the PCM and change the rear gear ratio in that unit. The V6 Camaros usually came
with a 2.73 rear gear (auto trans), or a 3.23 rear gear (manual). Most of the Torsen diff rear ends had a 3.42 rear gear (manual 6-speed)
or a lower gear with the auto.
