Does FRS come with Carbon drive shaft?
Hey guys,
When I was doing a test drive on the FRS, I remember the sales mention something about the FRS uses a carbon drive shaft. That sounded pretty awesome, but when I look at the picture, it looks pretty steel looking to me. I couldn't find any post mentioning about that, could someone confirm if this some marketing BS? Thanks! |

interesting, but there's nothing about weight difference, strength or one vs two piece. Insufficient information on their page.
