I for one think we will be fine .. however, it will get interesting with some very sticky tires to see how the halfshafts hold up. Anothing item that I bought for my 04 cobra was what they called an IRS Brace, it would re-inforce the pumpkin as they were known to get nasty cracks .. Hopefully the GM IRS doesn't have this problem.

I see; cool. Look at how many early GTOs and CTS-Vs were munching rears because of wheelhop and such. I know that GTOs benefited greatly from the bushing kits from the likes of BMR and such. I think the staggerred shafts are going to help with the hop too, so I think we're going to be alright. I do recall 'Vettes getting those braces too and think they couldn't hurt us either
