I belong to a cobra club in melbourne fla, and drove both and they are both fine cars. mine is a backdraft for 12,000.00 less and I will bet you the backdraft will have lower times on a roadcorse with the same driver. that what this cars were built for. "looks" backdraft wins.

I stand by what I say. I've riden in both and the Superformance felt more solid to me. I'm NOT saying that Backdraft sucks, I'm just saying there is a reason that Backdraft if $10,000 less. It's kinda like comparing a Corvette to a Porsche. Both are great cars but there is an obvious difference between the two.

The Backdraft I rode in was new at the time and has many issues:
1. There was a gap at the bottom of the door when closed. I could actually see the road through there.
2. The cover on the dash board was peeling off. Remember it was new.
3. Headers are VERY tight in the engine bay and are NOT mandrel bent which equals cheaper.


4. Transmission tunnel is wider than most which forces the seats to angle outwards. (one of the main things I don't like about BDR)


5. Radiator pipe is not mandrel bent. A sign of saving money because its a cheaper process to manufacturer.


6. Sheet metal inside engine bay looks cheap.


Hopefully they addressed all these issues. If so, then it's a great choice.
