I suppose that might be true if you hit them with an axe. But driving like that probably won't land you on the podium, and that's where most X-Cars wind up.
The carbon chassis is light and stiff, the plastic one more flexible and heavier. Carbon will give you more steering, plastic a little more forward bite coming out of corners. Plastic is a bit easier to drive on some tracks, especially on surfaces commonly found in U.K.
In the rest of the world it's a matter of driver preference. Brian and Paul both use carbon with the tranny brace -- as stiff as possible. They want the car repeatable and accurate. But they have tons of practice time at every race to totally dial the car in and want to work with a precise car. Plastic is more forgiving so many club racers like it.
In U.K. with no practice time, the forgiving plastic car is better, and all the U.K Boyz use it.
