Newbie here.
I'm really looking at maybe buying one of these cars.
I recall GM installed the 9.5 rear axle into the SS Blazer years ago.

What did GM install into this 2014 SS ?

Is this a trick question?

I think he is serious...:question:his concern mst be is the same one that went into the F bodies. I broke 3 of them in 25,000 miles..I had a stick shift.

To answer the question, no, it's not that rear end. This one is IRS that one was a solid diff.

I've seen stock axles handle over 600 rwhp, so you shouldn't have any concerns with it.

 

[RPOZ11]

No trick question, I just didn't know what was being used.

Anymore info regarding this rear setup?

What is the center section make?

Gear options ?

Thanx

I believe it's the same as the Camaro SS A6, with 9" 3:27 LSD ...

Yep that sounds right Slingshot.

Actually it is the same as the G8 GXP rear. The Camaro rear is slightly bigger and better.

The actual size is 8.6 " , but for the sake of conversation we can just say 9" with an aluminum pig.


Only the ZL1 and Z/28 are bigger, they are 10" with iron pigs ... (actual size is 9.875)


Gear ratios w/ 6l80e
First: 4.03
Second: 2.36
Third: 1.53
Fourth: 1.15
Fifth: 0.85
Sixth: 0.67
Reverse: 3.06
Final drive ratio: 3.27

Z/28 will use the same rear as the Camaro SS with the exception it will have a fluid cooler added to the rear cover.

Camaro SS uses a 218mm ring gear - 8.58"
ZL1 use a 250mm ring gear - 9.84"
G8 GT, GXP and Chevy SS also use a 218mm ring gear, but a slightly different design from the Camaro
