I had one on my gt500 and hated it, very noisy for some reason. How are you liking it on the ZL1 I may have to give it another try.

What are the benefits from this carbon fiber driveshaft? Beside being lighter

Nice !!

And the CF shafts are a lot less than you think actually. We run them on a lot of combinations, including our shop car with the TH400/DSS 9".

lighter = less energy wasted turning it = more power freed up to go to the wheels

Also, it being a solid one-piece drive shaft, you don't lose as much energy as you do with our two-piece drive shaft.
