Looks like the new " one piece carbon fiber drive shaft" is a MAJOR weak link in the new GT500 drive line... It has been reported to me by a VERY credible sorce (out of Las Vegas) that the new drive shaft is NOT a true carbon fiber drive shaft but is labeled as carbon fiber "coated" and is heavier than the old two peace design and is basically made of plastic! They have already broken four drive shafts on the dyno and a couple more on the test track, the test track failures where on stock cars with zero mods! If I was to guess there will most likly be a recall over the following months and a new aluminum replacement will be issued...

Well that blows....literally!
