All LS1 cars with manual transmissions came with aluminum drivesshafts, and some A4 cars with factory 3.42s got them as well.

My M6 has steel shaft. My understanding is the cars that go the high speed tires got high limits in the PCM and aluminum shafts. For instance, my car is a 2000 Z28 M6 with normal rated tires, a steel shaft and the speed limit was 110 or so.
