Default pretty sure my diff exploded

So I had just got done racing and beating a c6z06, stopped and ate some dinner, then was driving around.

I was stopped at a redlight, and wanted to do a burnout when the light turned green. Light changed to green, cars stopped, I revved up, let out the clutch, and POP, followed by a spinning sound? car would go into gear fine, but wouldn't move. Me and my passenger pushed the car into a parking lot.

I'm assuming this means my diff is gone? Trying to contact PuddyDad for a new one ASAP. Everything still looked whole when I got it home, jacked up the car and looked underneath it, ie, axles were still in one piece, driveshaft still connected, etc.

My diff has lasted me through a ton of antics, 57k n/a, and 6k boosted, so it was just a matter of when.

Just buy a new stocker.
At between 400-600 each you could buy six of them for the cost of one puddy diff.

if you upgrade the diff, then abuse will move on to next weak link.

I have an AP1 and AP2 diff sitting in the garage. I upgraded to puddymod stage 3 diff. AP1 has 80k and AP2 has 30k. No issues with either PM if interested. BTW, I live in McKinney.
