You have to remember that the weights that are being quoted are for non-optioned cars.I am going for a fully optioned car with nav,upgraded sound system 19's and all this adds weight,maybe as much as 75 lbs.I have had lots of carbon fibre on my bikes in the past & present and it does not age well in exposure to the elements.And being that this will be a 4 season car in a Canadian winter,I am not willing to be guinea pig.And besides I want the sunroof
