Pfadt Spy Photo!

Here is a sneak peek of a up coming product from Pfadt Race Engineering!

I really can not release any details beyond saying it is a carbon fiber drive shaft.

Enjoy the eye candy!

Ok, I took another picture of our drive shaft and thought that it was worth posting.

If nothing else, I can say it looks cool. Looking forward to details, particularly advantages/disadvantages of a carbon fiber drive shaft.

The advantage is that it is stronger and lighter. If it is lighter you suffer less drive line loss so more of your engines available horsepower gets to the wheels instead of the power need to spin/accelerate a heavier drive shaft.
