What type of frame does the Z have?
A co-worker asked me this. I tried to search and google the answer but found nothing.

we have a chromoly tube-frame front and rear subsection bonded to a carbon fiber tub crash section.
or it might be the rare and elusive 'unit-body' chassis construction. or as you laymen woud call it 'unibody'.

note: our car is most likely not made out of carbon fiber.

Like he said. Frames nowadays are mainly reserved for big fullsize trucks and SUV's.
