CF floor pans would be sweet. I would consider using 3M structural tape to bond the CF to the car. One precaution worth noting is that SCCA dosent allow cars that dont have aluminum or steel floors. Maybe they dont even allow aluminum and just steel and stainless steel? Anyway you might check into kevlar too. I hear it has greater impact ressistance then CF. The only problem I see with using CF is flexing in the chassis might cause it to bend and weaken. Making a chassis out of steel and CF involves 2 materials with different characteristics. What steel can deal with just fine might be a weakness for CF. Not saying it cant be done but their are lots of variables to consider
