new driveshaft for our stang
Hi everyone i just joined. i thought id tell everyone that i found out today that there is a new driveshaft available for the manual cars. the site is pandjspeedsop.com if u go to this site scroll down to "whats new" click on this then scroll down to the picture of the driveshaft. it has some info on it and a phone# u can call with questions. i called and found out that the price is $595 but it is only made for the manuals. the gentleman i talked to stated they are working on one for the autos, and to call back in january to find out if it is completed. i hope this helps anyone.

You may want to put in an actual link that's correct also. A letter's missing in your link. It should be:
http://www.pandjspeedshop.net/index.htm or http://www.pandjspeedshop.net/WhatsNew.htm

RE: new driveshaft for our stang
This sounds very similar to the one that's out there from the driveshaftshop and appears to be re-branded by others (Summit, Lethal, etc.)...the one from the driveshaftshop has an alumimum plate but the shaft is actually steel - though still half the weight of the stock part (46lbs - which I believe to be the same driveshaft as on my 2001 Ford Ranger).
I read somewhere that the driveshaftshop are planning to come out with an aluminum version at some point.
Other than the Powerhouse I don't know of any other aluminum shafts - BMR has a one-piece carbon fiber shaft that is rated to 1000HP and AFAIK there is nothing for S197 from FRPP.
If anyone has other info please correct me - unless there is something else out there I'll probably go with the Powerhouse.

Email ford racing asking them to make a aluminum shaft. I did, but we need lots of people to contact them.
Sorry but, I'm not paying $600 for a steel shaft. Steel is cheap.

The price needs to come down on driveshafts for the 05 to 07 mustang before I consider it. It's just a driveshaft.

Granted that it would be nice if prices came down, but one thing to keep in mind: A driveshaft for the S197 is not "just a driveshaft". Unlike 95% of rear driveshafts out there, this one needs to have a splined extention section in it. That is where the complexity/expense is coming from. A typical driveshaft doesn't have this. (instead, it has a slip yoke on the tranmission--but that won't work with the fixed output flange of these cars.)
