I love how people claim that an aluminum driveshaft makes their car rev faster.

As for reving faster. Maybe in 5th gear with the drivewheels off the ground.

Duuurrrr of course nothing in the driveline is going to affect rev speed in neutral.... except for a lighter flywheel/flexplate
If u know anything about physics you would understand that the car will rev faster with less mass spinning... thats when its in any gear.... its just not enough of an increase to notice..... probably somthin silly like an extra 3 rpms/sec.

What all of you fail to realize is that although the aluminum driveshaft is lighter, its also bigger. The stock driveshaft is just as easy to spin because inertia will tend to cause the aluminum driveshaft to have more drag due to its larger size
talk about knowing physics.... because obviously you dont!
