I'm not saying "mine" is better than "yours" because I'm certain every owner feels the same passion for his or her ride as I do but these are my thoughts on mine.

For me it's all the things you guys have already pointed out PLUS I have the RT3b "Black Label Special" edition car, which is the most wicked looking cobra I've ever seen anywhere. It shows in no subtle way that Backdraft is not trying to "faithfully copy" anything or anyone but is totally devoted to being a unique world class driver's automobile.
All the blacked out trim where everyone else uses chrome or stainless, those huge 6 piston Wilwoods, and the special interior package is a look that is totally unlike anything else out there. It brings the look into a completely contemporary/modern/radically different erra for a Cobra car and yet maintains the classic lines and styling ques that are so timelessly beautiful and iconic. It just looks totally "in your face mean"!
Do not get me wrong I love the standard RT3 cars just as well and would be just a proud to own one, but fo me it was the "Black Label" special edition that really spoke to me and said "I'm very different, I'm very proud of it, and as such I am the essence and soul of what the Backdraft Racing philosophy is all about". I
had to own one.
