Default Rear vibrations after burnout...what did I break??

I was driving in 1st at 3500rpms and floored it. I heard a bang from the rear and then started to feel vibrations...almost like I had a flat tire or something. What could I have broken? The vibrations happen at any speed and come from the rear of the car. When I increase the speed I also hear a loud banging noise comming from the trunk area.

It seems like I'm always breaking stuff on my car

It could be anything, get under there and check all the moving parts first.

That would do it. I was thinking twisted axle, or driveshaft, etc. Guess you already know.....
