What is that, 1 in how many hundreds. Find a some more and you will have a point. Do you have a ford motor in your GM car? Would you put one in it? If you think a 12 bolt would not hold up to the rigors for the few who push their p/t cars to limit, you are wrong. Also, the two camaros you thought I was advertising for was just to show you how much abuse and power a well set-up 12 bolt can handle. A 1.3 short time (w/a 406)isn't too shabby. I think you will have to agree with that. When is the last time you saw a p/t car launch as hard as that car does with such a low 60' time? Rears see much of their abuse from a dead stop launching a 3000+ lb. car with a trans brake than a p/t car on a road course, or cruising cross country. Many aftermarket set ups will not accomadate a 12 bolt? You say many, I can think of Lateral Dynamics. What is the many you are referring to? DSE's stuff works fine with a 12 bolt. I have their quadra link for my 69, and their spring kit in my garage for my friends 69. Most guys build their p/t car do drive and enjoy. Their are the few willing to push their car to the limit and risk damaging it. Most would not want to risk all the time, money and sweat they have in their cars. Would you be willing to risk your $50,000 to $100,000 investment? I know I work too hard for my money to take a chance and push my car to the extreme and possibly smack a wall with it.
