Driveshaft Loop

Does anyone have info on an NHRA compliant one that exists or is in development for the 6th Gen?

Try contacting BMR? But there is no way the driveshaft could fall out if it broke with the exhaust right below it basically the whole way...plus there is a factory brace too.

Is your local track tech asking for it? By the book you would require it if you put DR's or Slicks on.

It never hurts to have one no matter what the track wants. Insurance.

Thats not the issue. Ive seen broken driveshafts punch a hole in the floorpan and break transmision cases. Between that and compliant bellhousings for manual trans cars goes a long way protecting your car as well as your legs/ankles and feet from serious injury.

Yes, very true, but on a stock, or near stock car this shouldn't be an issue...

The driveshaft is a weak leak on the 5th Gen M6. I would assume it still is on the 6th Gen M6. Not so much with the auto's.
