The current delay has been available time and also rigidity of the carbon construction. Because of the shape, light weight, thin B pillars, and thin overall construction, we're working on increasing the rigidity so even the carbon version is suitable. I don't expect to be able to produce a top that works out of glass fiber. I think the pricing will be such that the carbon works out OK.
Since I blew up my 3.6L engine, I've invested too much $$ into developing a dry sump oiling system and a high compression 4.0L and 3.8L engines. Which of course had eaten up the hardtop resources. Now that most of those parts have been machined, we can get back onto the roof. Car has been down for over a year for these projects and its about time to go race again...
