I know I could call some dealers. The new BDRGT is incredilble looking. Does anyone know how many have been made and rough price for a new one with Roush 342 and AC.

Maxx,
The first 2 have just arrived in Florida and they are fitting them with powertrains. It has been a longer than expected arrival time, however this is a product that will not be offered in mass production. In fact the most we would likely see in a year is about 12 or so.

That said, the development and ultimate price determination have been battling with all the rising costs of materials/fuel etc. and diminishing dollar. So I do have a basic concept of pricing but I am waiting for final Factory Approval on that before posting.

You can assume a standard BDRGT with 6 Speed and a Roush 342R would come in around $100 - 105K. AC is standard, as are many other features that are options or unavailable on other GT cars.

This is a highly detailed and finished product and will stand out from other offerings on the market. I am sure they will have one in London with all the details then.

How does the BDRGT compare with the CAVGT?

pretty much the same car with some body changes is my understanding. Same MONO frame and suspension ect. CAV makes a fine car so I am sure the BDRGT will be great.

While on business in S/Fl a couple weeks ago, I stopped in to see the BDR crew. I was met by Reg and Frank in the front office where Reg immediately said to Frank "show him what we have in the back". I knew it was the GT. Pictures do not do this car justice. Awesome best describes it. SS frame, flawless paint, door/hood etc match perfectly. This is a race car with Backdraft usual attention to fine touches inside. Snug fit for 6'-215# frame and my mind immediately went into calculation mode. 1 GT = 2 roadsters. I'll have to just dream of it for a while. Thanks to everyone at Backdraft for the tour and letting me sit in this beautiful machine.
