Hmm. Carbon Fiber drive shaft!

So as everyone knows without FI it's hard to squeeze power out of the renesis. Most people have done all they can do so far, the exhaust, intake, flywheel, carnk pulley, plugs, Interceptor, etc. So basically lightening engine components and drivetrain is the easiest. I know they make carbon fiber driveshafts for other cars, why not ours! Might be a pretty penny, but might help alot too!!

Like I said, I never looked into what kind of drive shaft we had and it just popped into my head and i put it out there, sorry i did'nt search it. I've only had the car a few months and already have done a lot but not researched everything. I could sit here and get on tons of people who don't know a lot about cars and the mechanics and physics involved that I do, but why? to make myself look more knowledgeable and COOL. Or just like an *******. So again sorry i did'nt search and looked stupid for asking. Go back to being coolguys.
