When it was introduced, the S197 chassis Mustang represented a tremendous improvement over the antiquated Fox 4 (1994-04) models. It was tighter and much more track capable than its predecessor out the box.However, one drawback was weight. On average, 2005-10 Mustangs are around 200-300 lbs heavier than their forebears, so for racers, any weight savings that can be realized are most welcomed. An obvious one concerns the car's two-piece factory driveshaft, which on its own weighed close to 45 lbs. It wasn't long before various aftermarket manufacturers started offering one piece, lighter and stouter alternatives. One company that's been at the forefront of late-model Mustang driveshaft technology is The Driveshaft Shop, which has now released a new 1-Piece Carbon Fiber shaft, designed to fit 2005-10 Mustang GTs.Listed as Part Number PDSH9-C-CV1, this new piece has not only been conceived as one of the lightest and sturdiest available, it's also been designed to quell harmonic vibrations that are common on many late-model Mustang replacement shafts.
