I should have the same synchros as a C5 Z06, carbin fiber 1st, 2nd and 3rd i think.
The real problem with the First gen V's are the axles. They cause the rear to hop if you try to put to much power down. That's what breaks the diff apart. The newer cars have better diffs (3 versions) If you replace the axle shafts yo can get rid of about 80 - 90% of the hop in the dry. On the strip or in the rain you might cut it by 50%
I have 2 piece rear rotors and that seemed to help alot aswell. Right now I've been able to snap 2 axle, one stock and one upgraded chrome molly. So I don't fear for y diff to much.
