why aren't more sports cars made of fiberglass? it's cheap and lightweight. having that with an aluminum monocoque seems to make the most sense but most cars are made of aluminum with a steel chassis still.

It shatters instead of bending and that's a real pain.

See
DIRECTIVE 2000/53/EC

Now lookup fiberglass, you can't recycle it only downcycle it.

This. Painting fiberglass is also different (don't even start on gel coat). It cracks instead of dents so repair can be a bitch. I'm sure the whole being flamable part doesn't help either.

everything seems to make sense if you don't put any effort into actually thinking about it

Fiberglass is fucking awful for anything.

>>16019198
Because its a bitch to repair and paint. Prepping fiberglass has actually made me hate the c2 corvette.

A privilege normally reserved for driving the C2.

This is actually a pretty good question. Semi trucks use fiberglass hoods and fenders without issue. Fiberglass repair is pretty easy too. It requires just sanding and application of resin and strips of fiberglass.
