do i need a 12-bolt? well my 10-bolt went on me. one good hook on nittos and byebye! my driving is very comparable to a soccer mom. i have only caught 3 races with this car in 3 summers, and dont go to the track. granted throwin money into a 10-bolt is always bad, but my driving is very mello. it was my first time ever "flooring" it from a dead stop! and look what happens!
the only thing left that i want to do is headers, and intake, and a tune. should i invest the money for a 12-bolt or fix the 10-bolt??

Well, seeing as how you floored it and got a good hook on Nittos, your driving is not mello. Don't waste money on the 10-bolt. Do it properly and buy a 12-bolt (especially since you'll continue modding in the future).

Like said before, it only took one time... Now you'll probably be even more paranoid and drive even slower! That takes away the fun of having a muscle car.
I just ordered a Moser 12 bolt with 4.11s. The reason, in addition to the performance gains, was piece of mind. I should be able to gun it on the street whenever I want with no worries.
The cost of the thing is ugly, but if you plan to keep the car and use the power, I think its a must with a MN6.

I have a friend that consistantly cuts 1.6 60's on DR's and a stock 10 bolt. He has a Yank converter and Mac mids. He just bought a spare 10 bolt from the for sale section for like $250 just in case.
Did your car wheel hop? If so LCA's and a used 10 bolt might be the answer.

Same thing happened to me, but it was at the track during a "Street King" bracket race. My BFG DR's caught and left my rearend in the dumps. My car's been down ever since, now looking for a 12-bolt because i'm going to continue modding......so i think its a good idea like EverclearZ sed.

lets see....2k for a 12 bolt that has a habit of breaking as well, or 200 for a 10 bolt...u know, i think id take my chances with teh 10 bolt myself.
i've been runing 340 rwhp 351 rwtq na on my car for about 5 months, and now been runninga 175 shot wet...still going strong just watch your launch. dont really need to cut a 1.6 60 foot when you spray a 175 shot
