A member here with a not so powerful, but above stock car tore his up on a launch including the drive shaft.
Based on the kids comments & history an abused 2008 was a perfect candidate for what happened.

Hypothetically even if it wasn't from the previous accident, years of abusement would be the reason why this happened. If a performance car can't handle a hard launch, it shouldn't even be called a performance car.
