Sent in my deposit for my BDR last week. Are there any MUST HAVE options with the Roush 427SR and Tremec T56 combo? The car will see no track time. Also, is everyone happy with the standard 3.46:1 ratio the car comes with? Any expert input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Congrats on the new Backdraft. I have 730 miles on my new Backdraft with a Roush 402. I don't have any expert advise for you but after asking allot of questions I went with the TKO 600 with the .82 5th gear and 3.46 rear end. I couldn't be happier with the set up.
What option's are you getting?
Where are you from?

Congrats on the purchase of the BDR. I have #461 Titanium/Indigo with a 402R and a TKO 600. I think a priority would be he jet coat on the pipes and the 3M treatment on the nose. Everyone I talked to that did not get those options, wished they had. I'm sure you went with the 17" wheels. Reg does a very nice torneau cover that I find is useful to keeping the interior clean and dry. The Ray Dot mirror on the driver side is a must, but I would pass on the passenger side as all you'll see is the post and rear fender hump.

What is the build number of your car? Also what color? Where are you located?

Good luck, and welcome to the cobra community!

Congratulations on your new purchase. The Rousch 427 will make that an awesome rocket.

When I grow up I want one in in #212.

Thanks for the input. I live in Jupiter, FL. The car is #541, black with silver stripes. Bought the 3M, ceramic coated pipes/headers, etc. Fully polished 17in rims. Any experience with tire changes? Whom do you trust to change the tires? Has support with any issues been good with BDR?

You can not find better people than Reg, Frank, Craig, Bill, Mike and Ron at BDR in Boyton Beach. They know the car and will always treat you well. It's great to have another local BDR. After the rainy season, perhaps we'll meet at the Abacoa event on Saturday evenings. Keep in touch. You are going to love that Roush engine.
