I agree! Unless there is some really super sciency reason that guybo is wrong? Anyone else want to comment against and provide this zombie thread with the "brains" it needs to continue? (see what I did there? brains, science based stance, get it? get it?)

Also @cdrazic93, no no one is taking this serious. Its a zombie project of mine. Hoping to get some of those hilariously fun post contributors from earlier in the thread to get back into it. That would be great.

Well if the OEM Driveshaft was a velociraptor, then a Lightweight driveshaft would be a .........velociraptor.

Same, same, but different. But still same.

I know where he is I can put you in touch if you really want. The guy was a bit odd though.

Lol, Isn't the whole point of a lighter drive shaft so when you put your foot down on the petal it instantly responds?

Feel like the whole point of this mod was missed throughout this thread. To me the driveshaft is to increase the finesse of the car

Reading comprehension, yo! The point of this thread is to piss on each other.

The real point of the thread was to point out physics: Reducing the rotational inertia of the driveshaft will do almost nothing to the acceleration of the vehicle.
At least no noticeable difference as compared to removing the same weight from somewhere else on the car (like the spare tire).
Having a new set of tires shaved will make a much bigger difference.

The only "pissing" I see is from the people who are certain that the physics in their world is different from reality.
