Not EVERY way. I own a carbon bike, two aluminum bikes, and two steel bikes (plus another steel frame I plan on building up soon).
My carbon bike is slightly faster than my steel bikes, and it is also 2-3 pounds lighter. But my steel bikes sound better, they look better, and in many ways, they feel better to ride than my carbon bike.
