i like to think of our driveshaft as less of carbon fiber and more of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. it like radiator core support material with a different blend. i work with real carbon fiber tubes at my work and that stuff is waaaay different from our drive shaft and hella strong/light. a half inch wall 3" diameter tube with fiberglass cladding weighs around ten pounds at 4' length. and those shafts hold up over a ton of weight, and thats after we punch a ton holes in it. the plastic is garbage in comparison that is designed to snap in half in an accident so it doesn't enter the cabin or force the motor up into the firewall.
