RE: Carbon Fiber
I don't see how, as it is expensive because CF is labor intensive. I doubt it was checked for crash testing either.

RE: Carbon Fiber
RLSH700.....what I was trying to say is that that a metal Challenger was probably crashed test but a CF version was not because it was never considered due

I agree that CF is probably safe these days but the design has to be changed because because CF acts differently to impacts than metal
so you have the make the corresponding design changes which adds to the cost.
