From what I understand about the C5 is that the rear end is the weak link on the car, it won’t hold that kind of power without shredding itself… I was thinking about dumping the Z for a C5 until I read about the rear end problems after people have put just superchargers on them. ---

There’s a lot of members in my club running pretty low times and huge trap speeds on stock C5 rearends. They aren’t really that weak, but they’re not ideal for drag racing. They handle the power, especially on street tires. They’ll handle decent power on ETStreets (or better) but probably not as much as that TT puts out (for too long at least) on ETs. When they do break they break half shafts, so you do lose power to one wheel which can make the car hard to control, but it’s not like they’re breaking tie rods or whatever the early Cobra IRS was breaking that actually caused the rearwheels to turn! Upgraded half shafts and transaxle girldes are available too. -TJ ---
