[QUOTE="blackshelby, post: 12478498, member: 83686"] Many advantages a CF shaft offers over aluminum. Carbon fiber is stronger , lighter and will eliminate many harmonics in the drivetrain that an aluminum shaft just cannot do. (which makes it more stabile at higher shaft speeds) Than there is the safety factor. One reason Ford uses a 2 piece shaft is for rear end crashes(the shaft will just fold). If you run a one piece aluminum shaft it can penetrate your floor or gas tank if in a crash where the CF will just shatter. These reason are just a few why Ford went with a CF shaft in the 13 GT500 and not a steel or an aluminum shaft which would have been cheaper to produce. [/QUOTE]
