I put a PST Carbon fiber driveshaft in my 86 Camaro and I love it, I'll never run anything but a carbon fiber one from now on. It was around $800 with a MW Yoke.
My car really didn't have any bad vibrations to start with, but I could not believe how much smoother the car felt going down the track with the new drive shaft. The carbon fiber shaft acts like a harmonic balancer for the entire driveline. It's been in the car for about 4 years now and never had any problems. Also if you ever do break one it will just splinter, but not damage your floorboard.
My 86 has a best 60 ft of 1.33 on the motor 1.22 on spray.

Does PST offer a warranty like Dennys does? How do they compare?
That PST Chromoly is lookin good... I was set on a Dennys but may have to go with one of those PSTs. A warranty would be nice though.

So Im gonna have vibrations with the PST Chromoly since I have a M6?
I dont really feel like bending over for the carbon fiber.... just seems a little pricey to me.

I had vibration problems with my stock aluminum driveshaft. I replaced it with a Denny's 3" steel driveshaft and the vibrations went away...and it only weighed 6 lbs more than the aluminum driveshaft. I was very pleased and still am. It's the only part of the car that isn't giving me hell.
