Wease Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Originally posted by SamZman: Yeah stay away from those new 12 bolts until they can get a little R & D.. LOL You are missing the point. Point is, I read about plenty of 12 bolts breaking. The one I was going to buy broke after only a few passes. If I can get a stronger rear, that weighs less, for the same price, why pass it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got your point.. and I found it funny. tongue.gif You acted like 12 bolts were new and unproven. Stronger is very debatable. I know quite a few people runnin pretty fast w/ 12 bolts.

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 The bottom line is that 10 bolts suck and their even worse in 6 speed cars. 12 bolts, 9inch or even a 8.8 is better than a pathetic 7.5 or 7.625. Good luck to you guys with a stock rearend and hope your luck is better than mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Octane Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I've got a Tremec T56 and never had a problem with my stock rearend, but I don't drag race. I find my inner peace and harmony at speeds above 100Mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
