Yes, but not the same strength. One of the best ads I have seen for CF was just a bunch of guys screwing around. They took their new CF hood and laid it on the ground and then jumped on it. Over and over again, and each time it just popped back into place. Then they held it up and there weren't any dents, creases or cracks. You buy CF for its strength/weight ratio, not just its weight. Plus, if I remember correctly, CF breathes better than fiberglass, so it would help with cooling as well. Not sure about that last part, though.
