And as you said....and I'll put this in capital letters to emphasize the point and put it to bed once and for all...YOU CANNOT USE THE FRONT HALF OF A SS DRIVESHAFT WITH THE REAR HALF OF THE ZL1. THEY ARE DIFFERENT SIZES AND THE SPLINES DONT FIT. There is a lot of bad info out on the Internet on this, including here on this forum. The sad part is that it's people like the Driveshaftshop saying this. They should know better.

im very sorry about this, i was told this was true over and over several times from people here on the board. we will not say it anymore, sorry
