I too keep coming back to Backdraft as they have some newer features that I more like more than others. I like the BDR 2" larger interior, type of seats, 18" wheel selection and the chassis/brakes/suspension. To me its built just as solid as the Superformance or others costing more. Last week I told Andrew that I would want a Indigo Blue Cobra with the 427R Roush(with 5 speed) with the high polished wheels!

There were a couple of things that I guess I didn't like, it seems as though the windshield of the Cobra (passenger side)that I rode in wasn't very solid. It seemed a little flimsy. Maybe its just me, but when I first got into the car Andrew directed me to put my left hand on the back of the seat, then step over the side pipe. He also told me to not put down pressure on the door as well. He did say that they offer a 3M (mylar) protection to help protect that beautiful clear coat finish. Does your windshield and door seem flimsy? Maybe its just me but it was a little awkward getting in this way. The driver side was a different story, as you have the steering wheel and roll bar to grab ahold of. Thoughts? Other than that the car was flawless!

I'm a noob and starting to do my research as well, I agree I really like the features offered with the BDR. My only concern are some of the posts I read from other members regarding rubbing of the tires, shaking of the body/frame, having to slow down when going over railroad tracks. Granted most of the posts I've read thus far go back as far as 2008 and don't really know when they bought the car. I'm hoping most if not all of these have been addressed and the car is built solid or more solid now a day's. Does any one have any input regarding these "issues" or concerns?

I'm also curious if the wheel well is still open, or closed like on the SPF or ERA chassis? I really like the look of the BDR and definitely the options you can get with them as you can "modernize" them somewhat.

Hopefully someone can also answer your question re the windshield and passenger door as I would like to know as well, thank you guys in advance!
