Default Carbon Fiber Driveshafts

Is any one using them?

I was wondering, when they flex do they absorb some of the abuse from a Manual Launch?

I tried the search but it was not helpful

They are lighter and from what I have read don't require a DS loop.

Anyone have any info on what power levels they are reliable at?

while technically all driveshafts have some flex to them, they arnt supposed to excessively flex.. they dont really "absorb" the shock of a hard manual launch.

they DO still require a driveshaft loop.
they generally are lighter.

i dont know any exact power levels, but ive only seen them on sub 600hp cars.. the big boys all seem to run large chromoly.
