Ford or Chevy.
I broke my drivers side axle bearing on DR's (when my rear was stock) then a different time I managed to weld my pressure plate to the disk.
Wifes car- spark plug boot came off.
Anybody beat that?
-Mark
EDIT: oh and managed to rip my airbag in my rear suspension.
sounded like there was a snake under my car.

In my 05 
I spread the stock differential as well as an Auburn Pro after 4 passes. Tru trac is the way to go in this car. Ate up one set of gears too.
I managed to pull the carrier bearing support on the 2 pc. driveshaft off of the body (at launch) which lengthened the drive shaft, shoved everything forward, cracked the bellhousing as well as about 8 cracks all around the rear of the block. I've also broken the shifter linkage slamming gears. Roasting the stock clutch is a given
I think that's about it. I can't seem to recall anything else at this time.

my old coupe broke a stock axle on street tires... ended up needing a new diff after the axle mushroomed to where we couldnt get it out 
thankfully blue91 (fred) and a few other of the guys were there to help with taking it apart and after a few days putting it back together! 
after it broke i kept going and ran my fastest pass of the day with my wheel sticking half way out on the big end lol
fotgot to say i also destroyed 3rd gear in that car and a set of fms gears on the car i have now
