Hey guys, I'm currently around 650whp, 700 tq. Been to the track several times before and no issues. Tuner decides to change a few things and then the next day first pass I break my rear differential on the launch but run a new PR for myself @ 10.3 at 137 LOL, no idea how. On MT ET S/S DR.
Anyways, I was lucky enough to get it replaced under warranty. I want to go back eventually. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again? Could it have been me and the burnout wasn't long enough? Maybe I missed the water spot when I reversed back (not 100% sure if I was in it or not).
When I was at the dealer, he told me there were several other vettes in for a rear differential as well. Curious to see if this is a common issue or not.

My Z06 has been at the dealer for almost a month waiting for parts to fix my broken differential. Unlike the OP, though, my Z is bone stock.
It's a 2017, A8, Z07 with under 7500 miles. The rear end just started whining and quickly got louder and louder...I took it in and they said it needed a new diff. I'm hoping to get it back this week.

my rear end was replaced at 500 miles.defect from factory,2016.alot of bad ones out there.
Mine broke the same way. I was trying to do a burn out. I have similar stats as far as hp and tq. But my 60 ft was 1.41 and I only trapped 130. I am also getting mine fixed under warranty. I am going to not go to the track until after I get an RPM differential with wavetrac.
