I would disagree,first there has only been a handfull of 9 second passes and most of the time those are types of cars that dont get many miles on them,in other words the next pass could be the rears last.Most cars that run great times use a smaller rim than the 20 inch stock wheel therefore giving the rear a big cusion since it has alot more sidewall to soften the hit. We have seen many,many failures with the stock rear and aftermarket gears due to the size of the gear and the weight of the camaro. You can have a lot less power than the 9 second guys and granade your rear with the much smaller sidewall that your 20s have.
