Also, one other thing to make you go "ohhh.. duhh!" - Vorsteiner's supplier for a lot of their carbon-related consumables supplies Boeing. You know, those people who make the Jets you can't sleep on?
If it weren't stronger than most metal alloys (and lighter), why would Boeing use it? Furthermore, why would Lamborghini, McLaren, Bugatti... You get the idea
Carbon fiber is amazing stuff!
