I guess with enough abuse, anything will prove to be a weak-link. But unless you are doing something really crazy, I doubt it will be a problem if your engine is even close to stock.

Just dont race over railroad tracks & you'll be fine... :runsies:

Those 7.5" 10-bolts are a weak link, for sure. GM actually put a restriction in the clutch line of the 6spds to keep from tearing them up.

No reason to use the 7.5, find a mid 90's Caprice police package or Impala SS and pull the rear end out. 8.5 with 3.42's and full disc.

Yeah I like the sound of that......definitely something to look into if or when it fails.......

From those pics, it looks like a fairly clean beretta. Any hidden rust not shown? The rockers look good, but I do see some orange like color in the area.

You do all that past body work yourself?

It was a clean car when I got it .....it did have the typical rot holes in the front door jam corners.and the back of the trunk flange ....behind the back bumper is pretty crunchy .......but im gonna cut all th a out anyway when the rear sub frame goes in. And yeah. I did all the body work in 04 and really been taking it easy on it ....always garage kept and no salt .......it needs a 're fresh but uush m not gonna worry about any cosmetic stuff because rececar hahahahahaha

Was this car at Berettafest a long time ago - might have had a TV screen where the airbag goes in the steering wheel?

Yup, I remember this car from 05. I think I have a few pictures of it from then even.
