Not sure if u r a spammer or serious. First see the link above and this topic has been talked to death here. Everyone will tell u which brand is better since they are going to hype their owned brand unless its a POS. You are asking about a 2008 and I dont know enough about the older models. I do have a Backdraft built in late 2016, it has 525 H.P at the crank, 426 at the wheels. I upgraded to the Posi rearend, not sure what comes in a 2008 but I would upgrade if its a one legger. See who built the car because again this forum has alot of opinions on builders, with Vintage Motorsports being at the top for the Backdraft brand. Was the car you looking at built by someone at home, a certified mechanic or a professional Backdraft builder? U ask about a 500 hp motor but didnt say if thats what is in it or is that what you want to put in it. Its an open forum so if you dont ask direct questions then people are not gonna answer and most likely bust your balls which IMO is deserved. Yes I love my car, it has had minor issues but I got the best in the business backing up his build quality so I am in a different boat versus someone buying from a backyard mechanic. There are a ton of bad kit cars out there and sometimes its not the brands fault. There are also kits put together by backyard mechanics that are better then some so called professional shops. Find someone to look at the car with you that has knowledge of these cars if possible.
