I believe it is the same rear end casing as a GTO, or pontiac GXP (the 4-door not the solstice).
I don't remember what it is off hand, but it shoudl be the same one from what I remember, so look it up for a GTO for now. |

Ask Robin Lawrence on this site. He is from GM Powertrain. I believe he told me that the ring gear is 8.6" and the center section has a 2 pinion positraction unit.

I am not from GM Powertrain. I work with GM Performance Parts.
We compared the Ring and Pinion to a G8 setup and they are close but not close enough. It is a 8.6" plus a little bit from what I am told. American Axle supplies the assembly with components from several vendors. From what I have observed the center section is made by ZF. The half shafts are made by Delphi. I have had issues with "one wheel peel" during burnouts at the track. I had contacted some people at Eaton about making a True Track diff but they have a lot of other priorities at this time. I have sent a 3.27 R&P to my buddy at Motive in the hopes that they will develop a gear for the Camaro. The center section is aluminum so there is a limit to how much power that will hold. I noticed that someone talked about building drop in center sections. IMHO this would be the best way to get the gears and diff that we need. Robin

But yes I think a driveline company should make drop in rears that can handle real power. |

So there is nobody making a 3.90 or 4.10 for these rear ends yet ?
They really need a gear.

What about the Corvette guys? What are they doing to support high power? Just wondering but it seems frustrating to feel stuck in a box for now and not have any choice.
