back in the 80's that ran 600 or more iirc for the posi with the 4.11 gears, and the cost of a rebuilds labor at the shop. dont know what parts cost today tho. maybe more, maybe less.?

at the end of the day, the 10 bolt sucks a dick, and the 12 will hold up to his hp, im sure hes no where near 600 hp.

New school vs old school.

"Must prevent any possible failures and waste money."

vs

"Lets see if we can break it." Alternatively: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

For the money you're spending on the 12 bolt, you might as well go big or go home and get the s60.

Take this next post seriously.

He might just have some experience going fast.

Oh, and S60s suck. Track fail.
