I am the proud owner of Backdraft Roadster #1360 powered by a Roush 427R (550 HP, 528 TRQ) with a Tremec 6-speed tranny. I purchased the vehicle new in January, 2015. Its my second Backdraft Roadster. I have had no warranty issues or any major issues with the vehicle. Just a few minor aggravations: 1) The steering column worked it way loose and I had to tighten the brackets--not regarded as a safety issue as I diagnosed and fixed the problem early on. 2) The trunk prop works fine although it is fastened to the fiberglass body and is not as substantial as I would like. 3) The standard windshield frame is not really sturdy and DOT approved windshields are at risk of cracking. (Sturdier windshields frames are an option at additional expense.) I do not race the vehicle and drive it well within its capabilities. My Backdraft Roadster has met or exceeded most all of my expectations.
