Driveshaft question?

Do any of the C4 corvettes have aluminum driveshafts. A friend of mine just put one in his GTX. It could be my imagination but it seems noticably faster. It would seem that aluminum driveshaft would be a good upgrade because it wouldn't put any extra strain on the engine or trannsmission like so many other high perf. mods do.

Well, it originaly cost me $1500 a year for full coverage. I then got 2 speeding tickets. Each of those up'd me yearly $300. Right now it is $2100/year.

I think I am a step 15 or 16 right now.

I drive it year round. I'm 22. Your first ticket in MA does not count against your insurance premium. You get a 'freebie'. :yesnod:

Honestly isn't too bad. Just drive it like you would a truck and you're ok as long as the snow isn't more than 3" accumulated on the roads. Although that was when she was stock, might be more difficult now.....
