Certain things can take more abuse than others - that's a given... but calling a part "weak" because it couldn't hold up to the mods is pretty unfair. If you don't want stock parts to break, then either don't mod, or don't leave the stock parts on.

But anyway... yes, the drivetrain has indeed been upgraded to withstand the extra HP from the factory. If you want to push the LS7 to 600+ HP, then you still may need to do some work, I don't know... but I am sure the tuners will find out.

Im with you on this, take aside the mods, racing it makes stuff brake too, and some would say for instance on our Z06s the weak link is the output shaft, but have you ever seen one brake under normail driving? I dont think that ever happened , also the clutches, as my experience I couldnt ask for more out of my clutch, I beat on it, there might be ones that malafunction, but as far as the Z06 clutch you couldnt ask for a better one stock...

If we drove our Z06s like we drive our Honda Accords or chevy Tohoes ect. We would never find out what is the so called "weak Links". But we can call it that as a nick name , Its more like the "weakest Link" but my opinion there is no weak link on our Z06s
