Driving a BDR, your gonads will reach their limit before the car does

Seriously, if there is someone here who has driven a BDR and says the handling is bad, I respect their opinion, but I would imagine that particular car must have been really out of alignment or had some other problem. It's just not a complaint that you see frequently associated with these cars, which are known to handle well and have proven that on the track.

I think if you read the formus, you will have all the information you need to make the right choice. Good luck.

Cool Bdr

Excaliber & Patrickt not sure if you guys can read but the debate is about Backdraft & Superformance . ERA is a nice car especially when ERA builds it. I looked into getting one but their shop was scary & it was going to take 2 years if they could find all the parts .Since you guys are talking do you have any knowledge of owning or driving a Superformance or a Backdraft . I drove both cars ! MY friend has an ERA & it is a beautiful car . He loves crusing with us on the parkway when he is in 4TH gear diong 4000 RPM. So if a Backdracft is a Wallmart Cobra what do you think of Factory Five ? Why don't you guys come to the run & gun and see how the wallmarts perform on the track . You guys do know that Cobra's were race cars right ? By the way I think Wallmart sells the 1970 GM brakes that are on your ERA .
