Basalt fibers

Post

I was searching the net few minutes ago and I ran to the basalt fibers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt_fiber

So they are stronger than steel, aluminium and glass fiber, they are not stronger than Carbon fiber but they are cheaper so my question is why no one is using them in lower cost supercars or racing series? :roll:
