The bell housing did it’s job, it absorbed most of the force and nothing actually ENTERED the passenger compartment, which is what I said should happen…

Don’t be mad and look for stuff to counter just because I disagree about the almighty SRT-4 after driving one myself 😉

The rally reference was because Racer 180SX is looking into doing rally stuff.  
The abuse you put on a car on a race track is not as severe as a rally, but a drag strip (especially the start) is more severe than either of them.  
You bring up a good thing though, if people are planning on drag racing their cars and they have a LOT of power they should definately invest in a driveshaft loop or else if something seriously goes wrong your driveshaft is going to act like a pole vault.  
It’s not as much of an issue with carbon fibre driveshafts but better safe than sorry.

Noc, I have no beef with you but it seems like alot of your post are filled with either bad or wrong advice. Just try to back up the bullsh1t and clean up your posts…damn…stuff like this makes me want to mod again.
