so what do all the vettes do to keep the rear from braking? I've seen plenty of vettes with more horsepower survive.
horsepower is only part of the equation..the killer is the wheel hop..loading and unloading the transaxle just tears it up. That was the first time i had sat dead still and hit it hard...I had experienced some lesser wheel hop before and feathered it out..Alan has never had it hop on him...it was hopping at the drag strip..I eased out and hit it again..it hopped everytime I hit it again in first and second...The bigger output shaft and the new shocks will eliminate it I hope...We already have the good bushings etc in it...
