Well, learn something new everyday. Gene Culley just let me know that all right side shafts are the same, and the left side is different depending on the suspension code. I have an F55, and apparently, finally lucked out on something

It is good luck indeed to be blessed with a bigger shaft.

I too am blessed with a bigger shaft

Was under it putting on a custom tow hitch I got from BEZ06. Mine is a dry sump 2011 GS, with the F55 magnetic suspension too.

The left (driver side) is a lot larger that the right (passenger) side. It does not wheel hop when I smoke them either.

The thing is, it won't spin the Bridgestone Potenza RFs, they just grip and go. The Goodyears were easy to spin, all the way thru third, once they got about 10k on them.

Go study rotational torque and get back to us

And also study resonance while you at it.

There were engineering reasons GM decided to design and use them.
