What book Chad! You only got thru page one!  |
i would say your 100% correct on this one.
CM is typically 30%-35% lighter that .134 wall dom. so if you had 80 feet of material in a road race cage you might save 50-80 lbs (just guessing here) the DOM is 1/2 the cost of CM if not less. the labor savings is probably 1/2 for the install
that being said i have 3 lengths of CM sitting here waiting for the new project to arrive, but if it wasn't on the rack i don't think i would spend the extra $$$ to use it. if i was building a Comp Eliminator or Prostock car then there wouldn't even be an option it would be CM. but a track day car or super class car, there are alot of other places to loose 50-80 lbs.
