Both the 2004 & 2005 V had 1 1/4 inch diameter, hollow axles. There were reports of these breaking. There were also magazine reports that the GM engineers had orignally specified larger axles that did not make it into production.

The 2006 & 2007 Vs came with 1 1/2 inch diameter hollow axles that are presumably sufficient to hold the OEM horsepower.
