    I recently read where the F40 utilized a lot more fiberglass than carbon fiber. Is this true? If so were the majority of the body panels made of FG with CF being reserved for areas that required more rigidity?

    Just a curiousity:)

    I thought the panels were made of tears from stray dogs?
