Stock rear end?????
Can someone tell what a stock rear end on a 2000 A4 Corvette can handle in terms of power and/or 60 ft times etc. Also, what upgrades are recommended for 650HP?
Thanks!

On street tires the stock rear is typically ok, as long as you are not wheel hopping. Bolt on some sticky tires and your chances of breaking the drivers side output shaft are pretty good. A hardened left output shaft is about the best upgrade to the rear you can make.

Anything north of 500RWHP and you'll need to upgrade your tranny and rear-end. RPM is probably the most used tranny guys on the forum and DTE for your rear end needs. Hardend axle shafts and brace are the minium modes for rear.
