V6 snaps driveshaft on dyno?

[andymarkv]

From other video's, this girl drives & races her V6 pretty hard.
But damn I was suprised to hear it just come apart at the top of this pull!!

Ouch!

I wonder if Ford is still using driveshafts on the V6 that whip and come apart above 115.

Her and her husband are personal friends of mine and no she is not a stripper. He did install a pole in the house for her though because she enjoys doing it for exercise in private. They are both very nice people. :thumbsup:

Anywho yeah they broke the d/s on a local dyno.

If you can find out, I'm wondering how many drag launches before it let go, if any, and also on what tires?

Torque breaks parts, and these 3.7s are nothing like the 4.0s were.

Maybe a dozen passes on stock rubber. The best they were ever able to run was high 8's IIRC bone stock in the 1/8th. They were testing the increase in HP with exhaust when the D/S let go.

Damn that is scary.....
I intend to thrash my wifes '11 V6 pretty hard.
I really didn't want to have the expense of a one piece drive shaft. Especially after all of the vibration problems on the GT500.

 

[Jimmysidecarr]

I don't know that this happened, but repeated wheel hop will twist and fatigue splined shafts, which of course includes input, output and axle shafts.

These cars often still do hop. Just about every magazine test drag launch shows it.

I wonder if it's just that, and instead of axles, on this car the drive shaft is the weak link?

This is CRAZY. Good thing it happened on dyno and not on hwy or track.
