[s-cars] Vibration

[matt ludwig]

Kirby,

are you referring to the s-cars receiving carbon fiber driveshafts or 
another model? i ask because i have never heard/read a reference to 
this. i would love to know any more info you have. also, are we talking 
carbon wrapped aluminum/steel or some version off a mass produced, 
hand-laid job?

thank you for any and all insights.

sincerely,

matt ludwig.
