We are proud to announce our new Carbon Fiber Driveshafts for the C5 & C6! We have tested this driveshaft to 2000 lb-ft of torque without failure using a hydraulic press. It uses billet aluminum ends.

Specifications

Weight - 6 lbs.
Diameter - 2.75"

*NOTE
For use with manual transmissions only. If there is enough interest we will consider developing one for automatic transmissions.


This is the perfect driveshaft for the following:

• Big horsepower and drag racing applications that need the ultimate in strength
• Road racing applications that need high rpm stability
• Excellent replacement for a street car

Feel free to contact us with any questions and we will be happy to help you. You can reach us at 205-267-6387 or toll free at 888-999-0227. Reach us via email at sales@hinsonsupercars.com




FAQ

Driveshaft twisting

Carbon Fiber has three times the torsional strength of steel. The torsional spring rate allows better tire hook-up and smoother shifting.

Critical Speed

The critical speed of carbon fiber is 2x better than aluminum. Critical speed is the RPM at which the driveshaft is computer projected to bend or whip. Exceeding critical speed can produce vibrations that can result in driveshaft failure.

Transmission and Differential Life

By providing much less shock load to your drivetrain, this is going to increase the life of these components by reducing the chance of part failures.

Racing

Carbon Fiber will eliminate and dampen high speed vibrations. In drag racing applications, you can can expect to see better 60ft times. In road racing applications, smoother shifting and better durability of the transmission and differential have been reported. Test results have shown no vibrations at 180 mph on the dyno. You will have a much greater safety factor - carbon fiber will return to a fiber and not create shrapnel under the car, as would aluminum or steel shafts.

Updated the 1st post with more information.

Does it save weight over the stock part, out of curiosity....because illegal in my Street Prepared Class for autocrossing....

but it looks like the snit for roadracing.

0HinsonSuperCars

It weighs 6 lbs. Which is less than 1 lb. heavier than stock. You're buying this for the material properties. It will work awesome for road racing

Do you have any real data to support your claims?

Is it made in house?

0HinsonSuperCars

The shafts are made to our specifications by a shop that we contract for the work. Our SFI approval is all the "real data" required. Each shaft is torqued prior to shipment to guarantee quality.

More information is available upon request.
