Cobrak,

I own Backdraft #90. It is a terrific car and I would definitely buy another one.

I have watched the later cars as they arrived at my dealer, California Cobra. Each one is slightly different as they make improvements. Some of the differences are because of what the customers ordered, but there are ever changing production changes as well.

The only thing I would do differently is perhaps order it in primer only. That way I could have my local bodyshop paint it exactly how I want it. Other than that, maybe 17" wheel option, M3 package (bigger brakes and sport suspension), and a more powerful engine. I guess I am like a lot of guys. I thought 400hp would be enough, but 500 now sounds better.

If you want the traditional look, the 15" wheels are great. The stock suspension is excellent and the brakes are certainly powerful enough without paying the upgrade. It depends on your budget and what you want to do with the car.

After much research, it still appears to be the most car for your money!
