Bring that shaft to any good driveshaft shop and they can measure it. If it's junk they can fix it, I'm not a big fan of fixing a shaft on a million MPH vette.

Johnny just likes to spend millions on his Vette - not drive it for millions...

It does seem like he goes out of his way to break things.

He may like to - but it does not seem to work out for him too often. Though he did actually complete a race weekend at Rockingham a few weeks back.

Forget the drive shaft for a minute....

How is the motor? You just going to throw another million HP motor in there and call it good?
