Iron VS Aluminum Diff Housing

[Xavier]

I recently found out that the diff housings for the PP and non-PP 6th gens are different. Has anyone had issues with the aluminum diffs breaking at the drag strip?

Only one that I have heard so far. Can't remember who, but it was a vender running in the hi 9's

Only the auto cars have the alum housing, I'm pretty sure all manual cars have iron diffs

Ahh okay, I'd be getting a manual anyway so that's good news. Thank you.

Yeah I can't imagine cast aluminum would have a problem... I've put cast aluminum valve covers, oil/tranny pans, and they are pretty damn rigid. I wouldn't be concerned.
