if you are doing sprint racing just use the black street car axles and change them every 40 hrs or so and you wont have a problem, we never repack them, just run them to 40, then put in new ones... at $1000 for a pair of them its only $25 / hr... Rarely ever have CV problems, the Axles themselves are the weak links!

"I've seen the blacks w/o Krytox/Neo blow grease from the heat...that's what seems to happen"
Me too, same thing. Repacked with NEO or KRYTOX and no leaking

Amen brother! I just bought a set for my '01 Cup. They are closer to $1000 PER AXLE! And these are the street axles for a 996 Turbo. Blue axles (GKN Motorsport/PMNA) are closer to $1500 or more per axle! 
And no, you cannot buy GKN Motorsport axles from anyone other than PMNA. Don't ask how I know.... 
If you have a source that is selling them for $1000 a pair, please let us know. You can bet there will be a RUN on Black street axles!

I'm considering them for my little car also. Sourcing really good bearings is another issue though...

Past that, if you're racing or doing time trials, you're not covered but you're using axles that A) are holding up with 1400 HP engines, and B) someone is willing to warranty under those conditions. For the price, even if I were racing, I think I'd go this route.

I was about to pull the trigger on the EVOMS but I am getting black axles for $1100 (for the pair). If the EVOMS were twice the price, I'd buy'em but at 3 times the price, it's blacks for me.

May I be rude and inquire where you found your axles? That's quite a price for a pair!!

I don't know where my shop is getting them from but I can find out. Apparently the axles are made by someone for Porsche (like Pagid makes pads for Porsche) and these axles are from that supplier.
If you want more info, let me know and I'll get and pass along.
