Oh. I don't own the website...if that answers your question.
I've put an add in the classifieds on my ride, just debating my options.

I thought we were already done with that topic, there aren't that many fast N/A non-svt's right?  Just kidding man. I was sort of on topic before that though.

got that right. Harold weighed his in at 2840 lbs in full street trim. And the drivetrain is extremely stronger than ours. He was still running stock axles after numerous track runs on slicks and putting down 538 whp, 603 wtq. Stock internals too.
But hes now sold it and is moving on too bigger and better things. Hes in the process of building a 1000 whp Lexus SC300.

but this is all kinda the fun about these cars, they aren't that fast and they arent everywhere running low times, so when they do pull something in the 13's (and soon hopefully the 12's)its really amazing and cool. atleast thats how i feel about these cars.

I just have a question. How many people have actually straight up broke the stock axles in drag racing?
I know the stage 2 axles from driveshaftshop were breaking, but how many people went and sheared their stock axles before going out and buying stage 2 axles?
I want to know because most people I know just went and bought the stage 2 axles because they just assumed the stock axles suck. Turns out, I've heard less people talking about stock axle breakage than I have the stage 2.
Same thing with the hubs too.

This is exactly what I've been thinking the whole time.. Im guessing people are automatically going with the Stage II's as they expect to break the stock axles, or for peace of mind.. But I've wondered just how much the stock axles truely can handle..

I broke both a stock axle and a GCK HD axle.
Both from launching.
I agree that there is no "overall" strength difference in any of the "currently" available axles. They all are limited by the size of the splined shaft.
I recommend GCK HD axles for replacements for broken stock units because the price is good (~$125) and they carry a lifetime warranty.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
