I repoed cars in another life. There are some things that can stop a guy with a tow truck and a set of door tools, but they are fairly extreme.
They all boil down to making it impossible to get the car, or making it impossible to tow it if you do.
One guy tied a vicious dog to the car...
Completely off topic, but aerogels beat the pants off carbon/fiber when it comes to strength per weight:

Here's a 5.5 lb brick supported by 0.070 oz of aerogel:
Silica aerogel is listed in the Guinness World Records for lowest-density solid.
But I doubt...
It's really more of a "how it's made" rather than "what it is made out of".
All three materials can provide the level of stiffness needed in a spoiler. It's really how thick it is, how layers are constructed, etc.
Stay away from cheap crap, and buy from a reputable dealer so you know you are...
Ok, I've just deleted all the off-topic B.S. - let's keep the comedy in off-topic where it belongs folks...
We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
Actually I think we already do the most effective thing possible, we have the stolen Supras section here on SM, we force...
I've never dealt with a Kimber rifle. I have dealt with 1911's coming out of Kimber's Custom Shop, and they are some of the finest pistols I've worked with.
In general, that sort of quality spans product lines. The only exception I can think of is CZ. They make fantastic rifles and pistols...
Once piece of incorrect data in that chart (not that it relates to the motor, it's just incorrect data annoys me....)
Headlight covers in the US are plastic. US DOT requires it. When I did my HID/projector conversion, I ordered my glass headlights from Germany.
... this is how the media would cover it:

10:1 ratio of talking heads and stupid graphics vs. actual content.
and people wonder why I'm starting to hate our society...
And that about covers it for me. My Supra makes me smile every time I drive it. And I've owned other fast cars before, from a Trans Am to a Lotus Turbo Esprit. None of them have ever made me smile every time I drive them.
Also, it is possible to go to far. Higher octane fuel burns slower. I've seen people run too high of an octane and lose power. C16 is overkill for a lot of cars - VP Import is insane overkill. Fuel that has too high of an octane has the same effect as retarded ignition timing.
Be sure you're working with the same octane measurement method. There are a couple of different ones. This may help:
