That remains to be seen.....there are alot of factors that will destroy steel faster than CF...ever seen CF rust?

This is misleading....CF is very strong, i'm not a materials engineer but i suspect it can take the same, if not more, force as steel, steel just happens to let you know before it fails by bending. I also suspect that a large number of CF failures have more to do with their particular construction process rather than the material itself.
whatever you do never leave CF in the back of a car on a hot day, you're likely to destroy a whole city block
