What's sick is if the car is just waiting for another central shaft...

I think it was really not so much the torque as the hp.

Looks like it broke, friction welded itself back together and then broke, welded....

That combined with driving gentle, slow lap times.

I'm guessing that part was out of warranty.

Not my handywork this time although I have broke this shaft before. This just came out of a parts car I bought. No idea what the story is.

Huh, must be a heck of a parts car. How much for the engine?

Reminds me when I had a modded 93 GT Mustang with AOD - I installed a BBM shift kit / trq cnvrt and it snapped the input shaft not once but TWICE - clean and in half.
