Re: The Lohnes Wreck Files: Caddy Smack
They can be ... I've seen some pretty impressive blown-up stuff at the Super Coupe Shootout. The 89-up T-Birds and Cougars had IRS, and the SC 3.8 had lots of low-end torque. With the stick tranny, wheelhop could be pretty deadly, experienced it first-hand a few times.

Re: The Lohnes Wreck Files: Caddy Smack
First year the track opened (2003) a guy showed up with a SVT Cobra. Second pass he shelled one of the shafts. At that time IIRC, only SVT dealers could do service - so that was a 110 mile tow on a flat bed to the SVT dealer in San Angelo. Plus parts. Run whatcha brung, hope you brung enough spares.

Re: The Lohnes Wreck Files: Caddy Smack
I've seen lots of Cobras bust the half shafts but never seen one of them blow up the center section.
That one shattered like fine china.
The best are when Ford 9-inchers break and the pinion gear is still attached to the drive shaft laying on the track.
