CF is so last millenia. Even Titanium is dated. Those in the know are using the new wonder product: Bakerlite!

Carbon fiber? Hah...

I have an entire new line of Helium high performance parts being developed. Talk about light weight. They're gonna sell like crazy!

I'd say helium is the way to go, but you might generate lift--not good at high speed. Helium-filled titainium would be the way to go. Zero weight but super strong.

While my sig has always said it, carbon fiber is a big waste unless you're in an F1 car, bike at an olympic level or just want fancy expensive bodywork that doesn't match in color. I totally don't get it--most people *want* their car's body parts to match. If F1 guys started using epoxy over toilet paper you'd probably find boy racers doing the same (Hmm, you would get the resiliency of CF but super light! ) Whatever floats your boat...

Damn!!!
I order my imaginary parts which weighted at an outstanding 0.00000000000000000000000000001 ounces which is the brain cells that died in the process of imagination. This does not make any sense, going back to work now

I like CF, makes the car lighter in some cases and look better in others. Whatever floats your boat!
