The BMW M3 brakes/suspension on the BDR is for me a clear winner - just don't put slicks on the rear.

I have the Roush 427... would consider the coyote with turbo/blower for weight and handling alt. the Keith Craft 482 Shelby for look, sound and... well sound

Give Jay a call - don't just PM if you are serious - only thing I regret is that I did not bought one earlier

Take care...
I see you have a T-56. Is this something that you only find in BDR cars and maybe why the cockpit console seems to be larger than other cars? Quite honestly I like the idea of a T-56 from the durability aspect. It seems as the TK600 is very popular in these cars but I cannot speak to what is the preferred tranny due to all the gearing, weight ect... factors that play into a selection. My 03 cobra has a T-56 in it and besides being notchy its great. My car would be purely cruiser....no tracks, no burnouts. I like to enjoy the performance aspect but drag racing, launching a doing burnouts doesn't do much for me. I prefer roll-ons and acceleration. My driving style makes me feel a bit better considering the BDR rear end and components don't seem to be designed around high TQ and HP but that may be an inaccurate statement considering there are plenty of 427's in them.
