I bought MY car to drive it, not baby it.I've been under my own car fixing it myself, not paying other people to do it. I know it was dumb to do a n drop but if something is going to break then i want it to so I can replace it with parts that wont thats y i didnt care if it broke. It gives me a reason to upgrade and i have another car what i can drive. And yes, some of u are very rude.I posted asking if this has happend to anyone else, not to get rude comments. I have not been rude to anyone of you so there is no need for it.Half the people on this forum just talk down to people like they are better than them, thats y i try to stay off of hear because its stupid and pointless clicking on a TOPIC and reading people talk trash...

Taking a relatively bone stock car and doing what you did just seems kind of "Redneck" to some. Imagine if you cracked the trans case doing Neutral drops-you'd be really crying.

Get a trans brake if you want to play and make sure your wallet has alot of GREEN in it, drag racing tends to BREAK things on a fairly regular basis. Some hard core guys even ditched the Vette rearend for a Ford 9" becuase the Vette rearend is prone to failure on repeated hard launches.

I seem to recall on this forum one of the Vendors was doing a new rearend case to stop cracks in the case.

I think you're confusing rude with being honest. Nobody was really rude, they were just honestly telling you what you did was stupid. There's a BIG difference, maybe you just don't see it....
