Went to the track day on saturday. Got a few good runs in before the driveshaft failed. This is why you run a one piece drive shaft if you plan to drag race a car!!

I would never try to turn something like that in under warranty. I understand the risks involved and if I break something that is my fault, I take care of it. I don't want to pass the cost of my abuse onto the next guy trying to buy a mustang. People complain enough about what they cost now. Besides, if it broke, it nees a stronger better piece.

 

The fix is to go with a 1 piece aluminum drivreshaft and a safety loop. I believe retail is around 799 or so.
