I would suspect Lexan can be polished out. It is a lot tougher than glass if safety is your concern.

They also used it in the T-tops of my old F-body. They were quite $$$ to replace.

As to scratching/whatnot, I never noticed anything untoward about them. Seemed to hold up.

Go buy some. It's called Lexan, and it will cost you $$$$. Not exactly "Clear CF", but has the same attributes as the material you are seeking.

They can. It just costs. Those little fenders on my Z06 are carbon-fiber and cost $1800 a piece unpainted, dealership price. Together that's almost $3K and doesn't include paint. Imagine if a Cobalt...

I think they are doing it with fleet averages. There is no way (right now) to give the customer what they want in a sports car economically (918 Spyder anyone? Sorry, I'm a bit poor for that...).

I'm with you on that. The mustang is too heavy, the 370Z is underpowered, the C6 has a junk interior, and the camaro is a whale.

All the parent companies of the above products save Nissan (I don't...

How can the fronts be 6-pots when the rears on the old one's are 1 pots?

I don't know how Ford prevents fade when even the Z06 weighing a ton less, using Brembo brakes, and having 6 piston...

They stop incredible, but look like they would fade faster than heck. Do they defy their looks there, too? I mean, Ford tested the thing on VIR, which does have some serious speed, but I noticed they...

Holy crap. You are dead-right! I had forgotten how big the brakes on my G20 really were. Jeez what was Ford thinking with those.

In their defense, it stopped like 2 feet shorter from 60 or 70 or...

They do look like smaller 6-pots I agree. The rears appear unchanged to me, but it's rolling '12 rubber/rims. I think that Ford is doing some things though, and that this car is not "a package"....

You're welcome.

I am frustrated with the GT500.

The engine is killer! Yet they didn't upgrade the transmission behind it to allow drivers to shift it fast.

The wheel-base is long. Yet they...

The fronts grew for sure! I would like to know what is on the back. The 2012 looks like it has Camry brakes for the rear. 2 piston job I think. Not what I would want stopping my 3800# sled.

Not sure why they didn't pick up on the fact that the 2012 is already out and they are catching '13 test mules. That article is junk in my opinion because of the IRS being hinted at (BS as we both...

That is the current GT500. Supposedly the YM'13 GT500 will have slight revisions to the exterior (maybe different fascia/LED DRL or something, who knows?) and maybe another up-tick in the interior.
