Fascinating, that.
You need either a very stiff, very lightweight driveshaft or - more
probably in the CV case, since the driveshaft is probably too long to avoid
whip no matter how light and stiff - a two-piece shaft with a center
support. Ford, of course, settling for the illusion of performance rather
than the real thing, just didn't bother.
