Default GT500 Rear

I am contemplating the "drop in" FRPP SVT rear end from AM. This is the factory OEM from the G500s.

The question is, is it worth it?

Can OEM GT500s pass tech? Do they shear axles? grenade the diff?

Thanks

The GT500 rear ends are NOT bullet proof. I killed the posi unit in mine and upgraded to a Wavetrac for a little piece of mind. It all will depend on your power level and how hard you launch the car at the track.
