own a V and then talk **** about it, or drive one and see if you still think that the rear ruins the car.....you hear a few horror stories from ****** who dump the clutch at 5k and plan to not break anything, learn to drive and respect the car and the rear wil not fail on you. it doesnt grenade while driving in sixth gear on the highway, it dumping the clutch at 5k and taking it through 4 gears. many owners can attest that they have 50k+ miles on the factory rear and look at how many maggie cars are using factory rear ends.

Definitely true! I'm considering trading my TA for a V here shortly. On a plus note, Madman makes a nice 9" conversion that will silence all the V's rear end problems nay sayers.

Many Camaro owners have not had their 10-bolt fail. Does that mean it's not a POS?

they also have started making modified aftermarket axles which is supposed to eliminate the problem almost completely for under 2k. madman rear ends are over 7k. as for 10 bolts, had one in my SS and ran 1.7 sixty foots on a 100 shot and never had a damn problem with it, so IMO they are not a POS. all in how you drive it.
