They are all KIT/Replica cars. The debate is long and I'm sure those guys will be along soon to hash it out.
Have you driven the car yet? Looks like it has been drivin quite a bit, which is not a bad thing,but has it been on the track at all? Do you have pictures of the car you can post?
In all fairness, they are all replicas but they are not all KIT cars in the sense of the owner receiving boxes full of parts that are then assembled in his own shop and completed according to his abilities. A Backdraft is largely "factory" completed to a high degree of consistency. Aside from it's driving history, a Backdraft is for the most part a known quantity. An FFR for example (and not to pick on them in any way) could be better than a Backdraft or it could be much worse than a Backdraft. Any real KIT car that is completely assembled by the owner is totally at the mercy of the skills and budget of the builder. It requires much more individual scrutiny to determine it's quality.
