Take time to do the research. There's a major benefit when it comes to handling (and safety) when you stretch the wheel base and the track width. And then combine that with a proven suspension system?

Don't let the NYS process deter you, it is navigable. We've assisted a couple dozen customers through it over the years.

And yes, there's that RT4 now that should quiet some of the propaganda.

I'm looking around on your site (again).

I'm open to be educated, as I said. Feel free to email or PM me if you have a canned reply for "why backdraft." (And what's the difference with the RT4?)

As I said, I'm trying to learn the pros and cons of each brand in some key areas, including:

- safety
- quality
- handling
- longevity
- resale value

My thinking so far was to try for IRS setup. I'm ok with a stretched wheelbase. I'm not sure which cars are stretched though. I'm also thinking a fully designed chassis and matching suspension would be better than using BMW stuff, but again, I'm open as to why that may not be the case.

Mostly, this will be a weekend cruiser, not a track car. I can take my new GT350 to the track and have a ton of fun with all the modern safety stuff too (Plus, that flat plane crank just loves to rev).

I want a car I can work on as needed (hopefully, not "needing" much but more like project work). My 911 is too tight of a package to enjoy, and the Shelby GT350 is covered by an 8 year warranty

Thanks in advance for any info shared.
