About your truck comment, I think it's the fact of having it when/if you need it.

Ever heard of the saying "I'd rather have and not need then need and not have."?

I think that's a poor comparison.

I personally don't like a lot of carbon, but the Honda kids made me this way.
When are you ever going to NEED it? Honestly, no one is going to put a gun to your head and tell you you have to lap Road Atlanta .1 seconds quicker than a stock body car.

Think about it, somehow people were fine back in the days before CF. However did they do it?
