Someone said above that they all look like cobras just some look a little more original than others. Then again no two original Cobras looked exactly alike.

Unless you are a money is no object person then you buy what will not break the bank and give you the most satisfaction. If you are long legged, with very little mechanical ability and about $30k to spend the Backdraft is a great car. It compares well to cars that cost more and does have a uniue suspension setup that works really well.

I chose a Hunter for several reasons
#1 affordability
#2 Aluminum Corvette IRS
#3 Robust frame
#4 16 gauge steel floorpan
#5 Hand laid Body that is real close to a 427street body(does have the SC hood scoop, rollbar, sidepipes just not the lip on the rear fenders)
#6 Randy Hunter is a great guy


I have had many people look at my car while it is around other brands of Cobra replicas and had comments that it looked different so was it a real one? They could not put their finger on what made it look different but they sometimes say it looks smaller. I think it is the DIY paint job that is not mirror shiney and smooth so some think it is a older car. I kind of like it.

If I had the money to buy any cobra kit out there and finish it like I wanted it would be a Kirkham with a 427 and a toploader. But I have a beer budget and I love my car.

Remember they all are replicas including the new SAI cars.
