Devils advocate be damned, if they are ripping apart at 125mph, it's almost a guarantee that a catastrophic failure could also occur with repeated 0-60 launches or multiple 1/4 mile runs with no mods whatsoever.Quote:

Oh, wait. :(
Have those guys on the mustang forums calculated the critical speed of their shafts yet? It looks awful thin for it's diameter.
Meh if it was the EcoBoost V6 in the Mustang, I'd probably get one. A Twin Turbo V6 is a lot diff than a N/A V6 :)Quote:
