Really? Has any other manufacturer made a spring from carbon fiber? Without knowing anything about it other than basic/general materials information, I wouldn't think that carbon fiber would function well in a coil spring. Maybe a torsion spring, though?

Composites springs in production for three years with Audi. When I typed carbon I mean carbon composite. Same same really.

The springs in the article are made from fiberglass and aluminum, but it does sound like very interesting technology. Thanks for posting the article.

Different target market...

On the street, point to point, the Demon won't know which way the Shelby went.

And we still won't know what you were trying to say.

Benchmarking against the VW I see.

Is that a cage in there?

If you're taking about it going faster than the Demon in a quarter mile, it won't. Around the race track, yes. Quarter mile, I highly, highly doubt it.
Guys are in the 9's with their Demons.

Obviously you have no idea how fast the new Demon is in a quarter mile.

Will the new GT500 be a much better and an improved and all around incredible automobile absolutely with the new GT500 being a superior automobile on all aspects including braking, steering and handling compared to the Demon.

Not sure what your bench marks are but from a pure acceleration standpoint but the Demon will not be bested with the new GT500 as that is not what the GT500 was not intended to be.

Cobra jet is much faster than the Dodge already, and track legal.

But the demon is street legal where the cobra jet has no VIN.

What are you even saying here? Fords purpose built drag car is faster than the dodge street car?

I’m lost. Of course the Apple is faster.

We need to compare apples to apples.

When we do that the Ford Apple (Mustang CobraJet) is still faster than the FCA apple (Challenger DragPak).

If we compare orange to oranges, Ford does not have an orange.
