Theres a chance you can break stuff like that even being stock. I twisted the driveshaft and tore off the rear end in my all stock 99 z28. From a dead stop I put the hammer down,broke stuff,and it sent the car flying sideways into a poll. Crazy ****.
But in MOST cases you should be fine. I have coming up on 88k on the ss and iv made about 30-35 passes at the track with drs. Knock on wood no problems yet. Im going up again tomoro night so I hope I didnt just jinx myself.
