why are you concerned about the diff failing? It has something like a quaife right and has a dedicated cooler right...I know the half shafts are thicker and hence better for drags on a zl1 but the weight is worse for a road course car. Porsche gt3s can burn out all day long...nobody is worried about the diff...i say relax...let the car come out...have some fun if you are lucky enough to get one.

It also came right from GM that the diff is not recommended for drag strip use

Ok...I am not doubting you but I would like to read the wording on that. Please provide the GM link.

thanks

Here is the quote, I know it is somewhere here on C5. Perhaps someone can find it.

"How fast will the Z/28 be in 0-60? In the quarter mile?
The true performance of the Z/28 will be measured in lap times, not straight-line performance. To preserve the track-focused nature of the Z/28, it doesn’t have the strengthened differential and half shafts of the ZL1, and is not recommended for drag racing. The new Z/28 is designed to be the most track-capable Camaro ever produced by the factory."

The best launches are with TC off and no LC.

We can all stop worrying, if you are careful you can safely launch a 600 RWHP pedestrian LS3 M6 SS with DRs, a stock diff and axles, and not break anything. If you try a hero launch then boom. Drivers choice.

Driver's choice . . . . . subject to the heat of the moment.
