Jealous of the alloy body, but not sure I would give up my Roger Bollick carbon fiber body for it.....

If Carroll Shelby were to start the whole Cobra thing again, I suspect he'd be using carbon fibre (or fiber, depending upon where you reside) for competition cars. It's hard to argue against the merits of strong and light, and probably cheaper to spit CF bodies out of moulds / molds than to hand form aluminum / aluminium. Street cars, OTOH, seem to do just fine with fiberglass.
