My parents are concerned that the Chevy Corvette is mde completely out of fiberglass, I think its steel coated with fiberglass. Which is it? Also will fiberglass protect you adequately from accidents?

      The body is fiberglass, the frame is steel. The best protection from accidents is being a defensive driver you can get hurt of killed in any car

      It’s fiberglass, but it doesn’t much matter what it is made of. If you drive like a maniac, you will still kill yourself.
