Default broken driveshaft.....

So yesterday I did a hard launch with some very sticky tires at the track with my 02 Camaro ss the results were a broken driveshaft so what I'm asking is what's everyone going with when it comes to a driveshaft that will take a hard launch

either a aftermarket driveshaft or a factory steel one if you are on a budget. LS1 cars also came with steel driveshafts. mine has one. it was the 2.73 auto cars only.

Oh yeah, I'm running a stock steel one that I had the U joint changed on to fit my 12 bolt. Just running drag radials and still haven't gone to a track yet but no issues so far

If you are referring to me I still have the broken one (I like broken parts and carnage) that busted at the rear so the trans side is still there somewhere in my garage with some surface rust I'm sure. I would give it to ya if you showed up with a few beers but it looks like you are not local. PM me
