what kind of rear end in g8 gxp?
 

What kind of rear end is pontiac putting in the 6 speed manual g8 gxps?

Thanks.

If you mean what ratio, its a 3.70, but as far as make and model, I haven't a clue.

The Zeta platform's IRS is in the back, which is holding up in 600rwhp cars currently. Aussie's apparently know how to build one hell of an independent setup.

true but i bet its a bitch to switch the ratio in these cars.

i probably will never do that though

Hmm I wonder if the zeta is an option for us V owners.

I did notice people are hopping like crazy at the track...at least thats what it looks like in the vids.....is this true?

Yea there's some wheel hop. BMR had some Control Arms out that really help.


In your case, if it could even be done, for the amount of money it would take to swap in a Zeta IRS, you could probably go with a Madman 9" for your V.

Its the M6 that seem to have more of a wheel hop problem, the Automatics don't seem to wheel hop that bad and no where near the problem that it is in the GTOs.

Been down the track 7 times with D/R's and doing burn outs in the water box and not a hint of wheel hop in the box or out of the gate. HTH

no hop here , got an auto
