We truly abused the diff in my 16 SS and it finally gave up with over 320 passes and 12500 miles. The new owner back then finally destroyed it at a Street Car Take over in St Louis, that point and I'm assuming the original A8 and Torque Converter was still in the car when he sold it to a new owner. Pretty amazing I'd say and we threw over 850 rwhp at it for at least 100 runs
