Try putting a road car through the 24 hours of Lemans ( or 12 at Sebring ) and see how many steel framed, Detroit, UK, French, German, you choose, production based cars survive. But oh, let's see, until carbon fibre came along, everything was aluminum tubs/ or aluminum tubing. Nope couldn't survive for long, all that aluminum, nor could any Saturn 5, nope. Aluminum, bad stuff. And hey, I always liked the B16.
