trust me, I am well aware, and have been aware since I even looked into these cars.

I'm really not concerned at all because a.) I dont launch the car hard at all b.) I don't have any wheelhop issues, which is the main reason for grenading the diff and c.) I bought the car to drive it, not baby it and worry about the diff blowing up the whole time, and if having to buy a 06-07 $1500 rear-diff one day when it does go out, that's the price I pay for driving the car the way it was meant to be driven, just like any car that has a weak link.

I can't tell you of one car that I have owned, from my 1999 turbo civic SI to my last car, a 600rwhp Kenne Bell Cobra, that DOESNT have some kind of "weak link" issue. even with the well-documented differential-grenading issues on these cars, i still think they are absolutely incredible machines.
