Default driveshaft problems?

Hey what's up guys, I'm looking at buying an s2000 and have decided that if I end up buying one I'll want to supercharge it. I just talked to my friend about the idea and he said the driveshafts tend to snap with that much power. I was just wondering if there was much truth to this and if so how would you and how much would it cost to fix the problem, thanks guys

never heard of this issue before. Even running 500+ horses on a stock driveshaft. The stock one is pretty beefy and weighs around 30#'s due to the CV joints on both ends.

only issues would be from hard launches, the differential would be the weak link.

they don't snap, as stated the CV joints wear due to shock + lowered ride height

lol thanks guys, can anyone point me in the right direction for aftermarket cv joints? How does the tranny and engine hold up to the supercharger? Thanks guys, sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to make a huge mistake

If your gonna go with F.I. a reinforced diff, and upgraded clutch may be a good idea. these are weak links in a s2k IMO. drive safe
