Are you accepting trades for your car? I'm driving back home on Wednesday, I'll be passing right through Gainesville. I'd be willing to swap you cars, even swap, if you're interested... Mine will even have a new driver's side axle!

Good runs! Ive only tried my vortech s 1 time at the track and i ran 13.1 @ 109 .I just feel that the diff and axles are too weak to be pounding on as you are finding out. I save the drag racing for my integra... much less expensive to repair and MUCH stronger!

I agree S2k not a drag car i mean some times it is fun to mess around just to see what you can keep up with but i think canyons and course are the best for this ride.

i dragged my vortech s for about months going to the track twice a month doing about 10 runs each event and never broke anything. oddly enough i took of my supercharger and xmas last year i broke the left axle all NA and then three weeks ago i broke the right one. i imagine it was strain from the charger

That's the 2nd axle I've broken in the last couple months.
