A few reasons I'm going with BDR. They are right up the road from me in Boynton Beach. I've stopped in and looked at their cars and I'm very impressed with them. They've been around for a while now and they have a very good reputation from everything I've read. I've had a chance to listen to one of the BDR's with a Roush 427 in it and it sounds exquisite, so good that I wouldn't even consider putting a stereo in it as it's the engine I'll be listening to. I still need to take a test drive, but I expect to be equally impressed based on all the threads I've seen from existing BDR owners. Of course, if I'm not as impressed after test driving one, my decision may very well change.

I'm actually a little torn as I do love the new Stingray's, however, I've had my C5 for 12 years now and the novelty has worn off. Don't get me wrong, I still love it but it feels pretty tame to me now. In addition, it would cost me close to 70K to get a Stingray configured the way I want it whereas a BDR will come in at about 55K the way I want it configured. 15K is a considerable difference and it will be hard enough scraping together 55K for the BDR.

My thinking is that a Cobra Replica with a 550HP 427 in it will keep that smile on my face for another 10 years + as my 'vette did for the past 12 years: )
