[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15674396, member: 141815"] If your car came with the Performance Pack option then your rear axle has a Gleason Torsion differential. The other thing that will be different is the inner pinion bearing is larger on a 13-14 GT500, you'll have the earlier smaller diameter bearing in an axle from GT. Also the 13-14 GT500 axle housings have the axle tubes plug welded to the center section for added strength. Your rear caliper brake brackets are different. This was done to allow the use of the larger diameter rotor for the 13-14 GT500s. The brake calipers are identical for a GT and a GT500. This would allow you to either retain the brakes the way they are or as bimini stated swap the bigger diameter brake rotors and calipers to the 1/2 mile rear, while installing the smaller diameter rotor brake caliper brackets and rotors to the drag rear to facilitate installing 15" diameter wheels for a better set of tires suited for drag racing.
