I was going to post yesterday but I didn't because I don't know...

but considering the cars make very similar torque numbers, I would assume it must be.

I've seen the busted diffs here on the forum and I'm concerned however what I don't know is the circumstances how they were broken. Did the owners let the cars wheel hop badly or did they simply grenade from traction. My car is over 850 to the tires so I know I'm definitely putting some pressure on it.

Since the 2015 Z06 and Z51 use the same differential, I would hope it is as strong as a C6 Z06/ZR1.
