I can do better than that. This is what happens when the driveshaft exits the car at 5k+ RPM at about 140 mph. The engine actually ran fine like this.

Re'
At 140mph - wow. Good thing it wasn't the front U joint that let go.

I just picked up a DS safety loop (front), going on soon. They do have loops for the rear but they aren't very popular. Do you have a front and/or rear loop now?
