To be honest, I'm not sure what they are doing to break their diffs. I know for a fact, the cars that I know personally that have messed up their diffs do not launch anywhere near as hard as me. 2.0 60's for me vs. 2.3-2.4's for them.
I launch at 7k and ride out the clutch. I think the main problem is people doing like 5k drops and the car hooking(not very hard, but still hooking). The diff isn't ready for the car to just shoot out from 0mph to moving so quickly. This won't just break an S2k diff, it can break a lot of cars diffs.
Obviously, running a high power set up with drag radials or slicks is another way to break the diff.
