Well, I decided to go out for lunch today, you know run down to the local Crusty Burger for a quick bite. On my way back, I actually end up at the light next to an SS!! Oh joy, Oh joy! Well I look over and the guy is checking my Marauder out, and I'm checking his ride out. It looked like it was lowered a bit, and the exhaust didn't sound stock, so I figure we got about the same level of Mods. We make eye contact, and he smiles and motions down the road with his head. I do a quick look around, and not seeing any cops, nod "yes."

We stage up to the line, and when the cross trafic light turns yellow I touch the OD button off, and with the Green I punch it! He gets a quick jump on me by about 1/2 a car, when I start to pull up on him.

As I get about a car length on him, I get this wierd vibration on the old Butt-o-meter, but before I can do a damn thing, I hear what sounds like a gun shot. Next thing I know there's a paturtion in my hood, and smoke is POARING out from under my hood! Then, another bang, and I'm FREAKING AIRBORN!!! My driveshaft snapped, and I get flipped up on my side sliding....


God, what a day....

Please do tell us that this is not true, and just an April fools prank like some others I've read here today :(

If indeed this IS true, it scare me. In my experience with ford driveshafts, when I had mustangs, one of the first mods I did was to swap out the steel driveshaft for an Aluminum SVO shaft, that was claimed to take higher torque and HP than the stock item, and also balanced better. When I view the underside of my Marauder, the shaft it has looks a whole lot like the SVO mustang shaft. This did bring a feeling of confidence for me......until I read your post above.

Best,

Paul:D
