Googled. Wow, it seems it does. They don't advertise that much. I've speced them out multiple times and didn't know.

The 350Z does as well.

A lighter single piece drive shaft should reduce the power lost between the engine and the wheels. A dyno, pre and post install, on a stock car would be nice to see.

Thinking about an aluminum shaft instead of carbon fiber. I'll track one down and do a dyno comparison.
