Anyone break zl1 drivetrain?

Has anyone broke zl1 axles or driveshafts? I've been searching around a lot lately and don't see any thing on broken axles or driveshafts from zl1s. Which surprises me since there's lots of high hp and drag raced cars.

Good read right here. This drivetrain is a beast, it's one of the biggest reasons why I sold my 2011 640 rwhp SC SS to purchase a ZL1.

I'm at 704 whp with well over 500 passes on my Z and all is good so far. Made 8 nine second passes on Sun without a complaint from the rear end.

Nope unbreakable, the axles and driveshaft can handle more than the transmission.

I love reading threads like this. I'll take the extra LBs for having parts that can take a beating. A muscle car built like a muscle car should be.
