Body Material/Composition?
Hey Guys, My '16 Z06 is my first "new" vette (owned a '65 Roadster back in the day, 395/425HP) and it got me thinking are the vettes still fiberglass cars or are most of their body parts now "composite/plastics"? I thought I read the Z06 hoods are CF but just from tapping on the other body parts it doesn't sound/feel like what I would describe as fiberglass, feels more like plastic composites. So what are our vettes made out of now?

The following quote is from the posted link, near the top. I bet a LOT of current Vette owners would be interested to see this...
"TCA was formulated to eliminate the occurrence of paint pop defects..." NOT!
