Message	Target for the 2013 GT500 was >200mph, eventhough the 2012 model has 2 pc steel shaft, the shaft resonance happens below 200 mph, which was a big no no. I am sure the quality of the aftermarket carbon shaft depends on the supplier. With OEM, it'll go thru a lot of design requirements and brutal testing to make sure it'll survive whatever you can throw on it :)
