The stock driveshaft weighs approx 39.5 lbs and is a 2 piece design. There is power transfer loss from the motor to the rear axle in any car, and by switching to the 1 piece aluminum driveshaft you shed 19.5 lbs weight decreasing rotational mass therefore there is less power transfer loss because less work is required to rotate the lighter and more solid 1 piece shaft. The amount of rotations the driveshaft must turn to achieve a full revolution of your rear wheels is determined by what rear end gear ratio you choose. In my case I'm running 3.73 gears with a ford racing differential lock and a supercharger at 11 lbs boost.. With the power bump and higher speeds I wanted to reduce the risk of driveshaft failure.. (150 mph + on the stock 2 piece unit = no bueno, you-tube it for some entertainment). In theory you will also feel a quicker response in acceleration by reducing your rotational mass and decreasing power transfer loss.

 

By the way, Synar, your garage is kick a**!!

 

My baby... 2005 115,000 miles.... Still runnin strong

 

ive been seeing a lot of silver lately! nice fogs too!

 

Nice silver stang!

 

Thanks for the info Jeff !!!

 

Sure.. It's probably worth about as much is in my wallet.. Sadly, a few bucks, some receipts, and a GC to Applebee's, ha.

 

Swapped stock taillights in for now change up

 

Getting all the plastic on bottom painted to match wheels soon.

 

Took a couple

 

Put my Silverhorse Racing Taillight panel back on.

 

Is that a cobra jet emblem on the back??

 

Similar to it yes. But it doesn't say Cobra Jet on it. Not trying to pass it off as one. I just like it and it's kind of in a Hotwheels-ish style and I collect them.

 

 

 

My Shelby and my buddy's Terminator at the Sept 9th Va Beach C&C

 

Sex!

 

Indeed!

 

One of mine and my friends trucks my interior pieces I painted silver and then some of our years I seen and saved

 

What are those taillights? They look to be 2013 style for the 05-09 bodystyle. Given the Bama Performance and American Muscle logos on the car, I wonder if those are the prototypes that were built.

EDIT : I see the other post about them!! Can't wait to get a set for my car!
