Remember when stock stuff broke when running 12 flat?

Things are good when you can get in the 9's before you start breaking stuff. Amazing really.

More then anything i just wanted to show him, he is one of the lucky few who gets to beat the shit out of the cars until they break. then fix the issue for the future! He basically has his choice off the lot of mustangs to drive! he usually rolls around in a grabber yellow boss. FUCKER!

This is what happens when you abandon our axle brace, Kelly.

Sorry about the diff, but man... you broke it cutting 1.4x 60s and trapping 145 with mostly stock parts. Ford did good. I'm curious to see what the replacement part will look like.

Has anyone seen a GT350 diff housing yet?

I was looking and there are two diff housings listed, Shelby and non-Shelby and the Shelby part number shows a shipping weight that's 24lbs heavier than the non-Shelby housing.

Maybe the Shelby has an iron housing?

I just confirmed the GT350 has the cast iron diff.

So, who wants one at $186.00 plus shipping?

No way to be 100% sure if all the bits are interchangeable until someone tries it but it does appear that the internals are all the same.

Correct.

But what is a "non-Shelby"?

Our PP car, and every other stick shift car has a cast iron housing.

So, is the GT350 housing 24lbs heavier than the stick shift S550 cast iron housing?

The GT350 is the same cast iron housing as the stick GT but it has a Torsen and 3.73.

It came stock with aluminum.

Here was 30 mins after it broke in Kentucky.

Gotcha, I didn't know you were able to fix it yet. Let alone at the track.

Someone said they heard you snapped the DS too? Did that happen?
