Bet the pinion shaft retaining bolt snapped, shot it out of the carrier and all down hill from there. Ive broken plenty of ring/pinion sets and never seen the pinion shaft come out like that.

That's definitely something I haven't seen before as well. Wow! Total destruction there. "Dude, do you think the dealer will cover this? I mean, I launched at 1,500 RPMs!" LOL.

What a mess. I blew one like that in an 06 TT GTO, only I was on slicks and at the track.

makes more sense than grenading a stock unit on the street.

I wonder how these guys manage to tear up the shit they tear up....

Aren't there guys going pretty quick with just half shafts? I think this may have just been a bad diff.

For some guys, tearing up their shit is a badge of honor. It means they have da powaaaah.
