Warning........Dana 36
Here is what happens if you take your Auto Vette to the track.:eek: This is my good friend(Croozn) and his 94(mods). I think this is the 3 one he has broken. :( Before I do any more mods....it's 44 time. :smash:

Re: Warning........Dana 36 (CROOZN)
Yeah I heard the 36 is only good up to a certain amount of power (like 400 or something I heard). Most of my friends with autos who are modded to any degree have gone to the 44.

Yes we do!
Keith, my 93 is stock and the rear is acting funny.
JP broke two 36's before going to a 44.
I'm not waiting to bust mine, I'm going for that 44 ASAP!

Re: Warning........Dana 36 (mackeyred96)
I gladly listened to Panuzzo and went with a Dana 44. My torque output and a hint of hook would have made my D36 a trophy :)

Why wouldn't you upgrade after breaking the first one? I did! Shoot, I even broke the case. :)

Re: Warning........Dana 36 (Mojo)
Dude,
Do you have any dyno numbers before that happened?
It least breaking the diff is better than sending a rod throught the bottom of the pan. :lol:

Re: Warning........Dana 36 (mackeyred96)

Looks like it's time to steal a 44 if you want to keep "driving it like you stole it" :lol:

No need, and GM saved $.
Coupes & manuals have been and always will be looked at as a more performance orientated model than convertibles& autos. Convertible & auto owners are (usually) more apt to cruise around town than be into hardcore action. The same reason you see things like Z51 limited to coupes & manuals most years, and Z07 restricted only to coupes.
Why waste $ where it most likely won't be used?
