Weakest Link
Weakest Link No doubt HP/TQ will not be an issues with the new camaro...a simple cam swap with net massive gains, def a good time to be a performance guy...my issue is: 4th gens it was the rear end that went first...so on the new car what will be the weak link once we start making all this power with aftermarket parts...I doubt the tranny (M6) goes first, I'm looking hard at that IRS/differential going first, what is the concensus on the board?

The GM IRS units have held up to some serious power. 
The only one that had any problems was the CTS rearends.
The C6 vettes center unit has held up to 1000hp before blowing up.

since this vehicle is based on holden architecture, wouldn't you figure it would be most similar to G8's in terms of drive train...thavint said that, how have their rear diff's held up to 450+rwhp?

I am going to guess the first thing to go when anyone does anything to a new Camaro with anything other than GM Performance Parts will be the warranty.
It will be interesting to watch who takes this vehicle with 5 yr. 100K Powertrain Warranty and adds a 150 shot and tires to confirm how it runs.

If you mod the engine & loss your warranty, do you loose every facet of the bumper to bumper. Reason I ask is this is a brand new car, built from the bottom up & im sure it will have alot of TSB's. I would much rather get them takin care of for free than have to pay for them since I voided my warranty because I wanted mid 12's.
hopefully the IRS make up for it
