I never understood why the FEs are less popular in the SPFs. But from the BDR perspective meeting a predefined version of a "Cobra" is not the reason a customer selects BDR, so from there on out it's about optimizing the car to their tastes, use, and budget.
One of my favorite BDRs to drive to date has a Roush 451 in it. I get to drive it every couple years ... great engine and not a drip or drop of
oil to this day.
