Should Moser come out with a rearend for the GTO?
Tim from Moser, shown in this video http://www.powertvonline.com/video_detail.php?mId=2901 was at my shop Thursday and took a good look at the rear in jmd's GTO. Do you think there would be enough interest for Moser to invest in coming out with a stronger rear for the GTO? Bob

I'm all for it. Once this is done, with a few alterations, it could also be used in the G8 and Camaro. So I think it'll be worth it to mock up an assembly.
Price is the big concern though. How many people are willing to spend that much money? I spent $2K on my 12 bolt for my WS6 and thought that was ridiculous but I guess its what they go for.

honestly,
I doubt there would be enough intrest,
there's already a 12 bolt and 9" available out of Australia (neither sell many at all)
not to mention,
I have little confidence in moser's 12 bolts in a 4K lb car that comes with 400lb/ft of tq.
they can't even handle a 3400lb trans am with 300hp
(then when you call moser about the warranty, they tell you that there parts aren't designed for racing)

not me,
but one of my very good friends (he's here on tech too.)
he broke his twice with a nearly "stock" WS6
they just can't handle the shock of a 6 speed
when he contacted them, they told him it was due to abuse, and there products weren't designed for racing
have you seen there homepage?
it used to have a pro-stock dragster doing a wheel stand

what rearend should I put in
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I blew my stock rearend in my 02' WS6 today. I want to know what rearend I should put in it. My top 2 are definitely dana 60 or a 9 inch. Give me some ideas and some opinions.
A Moser 12 bolt is ready to ship in two days. A Strange takes something like three weeks from the last I knew. Either one makes for a good rear.

No I didn't. They were comparing the Moser to the Strange, and I mentioned the difference in time that it takes to get one., plus the original guy who posted in that thread had an automatic! Bob

The Moser soloution for the GTO would be a IRS setup. There is no reason to be biased at this point, this is all in the works and it looks like people are already jumping on the bandwagon to bash them.
When/If moser comes out with this product, it will be competitively priced and will hold everything you can throw at it, no questions asked. I have full faith in Mosers Engineers and there ability to make a reliable product that will take a daily beating and survive at the strip.
