Craig you know what I say is all true, stop living denial we can not keep hiding the truth the vw public needs to know there are other forces at work here.
More information at hand the silver L bug also has carbon fibre conrods and have you check under that paint is the body all metal what about the floorpan. I know that they had to put a full roll cage in to add weight as the car was far to light getting totally airborne over the flip flop at Oran Park so don't beleave what they tell you and only half of what you see
Dark Glass and trench coats for all.:
Oh yes, I can see those rods shredding apart as we speak.
I know carbon cases are being built. But no race class allows them, so they can't be developed well enough, since they're stupidly expensive to build. Carbon fibre rods would'nt work. Carbon could, but there is really no point with titanium items being so good, tried and true.
Also, why is the L-Bug running on off the shelf Simmons wheels. Wurely he would know about unsprung weight?!?!?! There would be GT2 carbon ceramic brakes and V8 supercar 18" magnesium race wheels ($1200 a peice *swoon*) on the car if I had of built a fully custom, composite motor.
Oh, not to mention a DTM touring car styled carbon inner vehicle tub. To tie into the 20 point chromemolly cage (not a bolt in afair, like what he currently has). With all ties into the suspension, fully seamwelded, gussetted, lightened body, engine load points, seating, etc...
And whilst I'm at it, you'd run Remmele or CSP carbon body panels (doors, boot, bonnet, guards) along with carrera cup carbon wings (of the downforce variety). Not a fibreglass kit.
