Don't laugh - but I once drew up (for a paying customer) a full-carbon trailer for the Porsche
SportBoat, to be towed by a 911. The thing was to have carbon springs, chassis, hitch, axles, etc,
with an S-Glass fairing for the hull to reduce drag. And this was in 1990. The idea never went
anywhere (pun intended) but I believe his patent for the springs made it through the USPTO intact.

I actually got that from an interview with Mert I recently read. He also mentioned that vettes have
fiberglass leaf springs.

What about composite coil springs? is it possible (or perhaps it has been done and i don't get
out enough)?

Decline? He's still as popular here as ever*.

Looking at the German charts, it's easy to see why he became a star...

* - may not actually be true.
