Cage + Leaving Targa on... np.

must be 8 point minimum. Anything else is an excersice in a failure in geometry.

I love how people talk about weight reduction yet we have yet to see any SERIOUS power out of these motors yet.

oh well

I still think it is a silly idea if the intrusion bar/crash beam is not there. I don't care if CF is stronger. Unlike metal that absorbs and crumples. CF shatters and when that happens no energy absorption happens, meaning there is roughly about 2 feet of air cushioning the car and the human body. Yeah...... I will lose the 10th of a second and crank the boost up instead.

Isn't there a chance that these are just for show and not for racing purposes?

The only cars I've seen with CF doors so bar have been either show cars or used for drifting
