Stock Driveshaft? Realistically, I was wondering how far you guys think a person should push their stock driveshaft? I know Ryan still runs his. 
But it seems to me over 500rwhp is pushing the limits (since it was designed for 325hp @ the engine) But I can't remember one breaking in an F-body around here, so I'm perplexed.....

Well, I think because with an A4 you pre-load the drivetrain for your launch, you shouldn't have to worry about the driveshaft like an M6 driver does.
I know I'd hate to drop the clutch at 6k+ rpms on slicks in an M6 with a stock driveshaft.

We had it out looking to see how hard it would be to remove the air bag. He mentioned his co-pilot was well enough equiped that he did not need it
