trying out the launch control just like the video instructions.. gotta love warranty though..

looks like its just the shaft or a u joint if there is one.. i'm sure they make these parts weaker than the diff for this reason..

dont think its the REAR END thinks he broke the half shaft.. easy there...

My dealer told me he had a customer who supercharged his Camaro and blew out the rear end.

I assume your problem is covered by the warranty?

did the dealer say it is fixing it under warranty? After all, supercharged or not, the output shaft issue is well known.

on the street it works good, my experience with it on the track is it doesn't work worth a damn, lots of wheel hop and spin. This is being fixed under warranty as we speak

this is what you DO NOT WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN!!!VVVV
