2013 GT500 Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

[Cobra Drifter]

Since the 2013 uses the same transmission, only different gear rations, as the 07-12 one would deduce that the 13 DS should be compatible?
Does anyone know if it will connect without issue?

Thanks

The tail shaft is different in the 13' . That said if and when FRPP comes out with an adapter that will work on the older transmissions then it may fit. There are some important changes made to the 13' transmission output shaft/DS to both strengthen the shaft and lighten the damper.

Boooo! that sucks. Shold be plug n play :grin:

You've been able to get a carbon fiber driveshaft for our cars for years, why would you want one from a 2013 car?

[Cobra Drifter]

Designed for more power and hopefully cheaper

The 13' DS has CV joints on both ends which would exibit less vibration in the drive train.

Hope they are strong, CV joints in the past that I've dealt w/ didn't seem to hold up well under stress.

Most of that experience is w/ trucks though.

Much stronger than the two piece DS with the weak center bearing.

I have a couple pictures of the 13 CF DS. I'll post them up soon

Is that some sort of cooler on the pumpkin?

Does it have a pump of some sort?

So can this rear diff cooler be fitted to an original GT500, you know...the 2007-2009 models?

Heres the cover, I know that fits, but what about the other parts?

[Gr8snkbite]

i dont see why not..but the other components up front where the lines are tied into for it i'm sure is the determining factor...maybe go look at a 13 and see what you find....:grin:
