BODYWORK/TRIM

From inception, ackdraft cars are turnkey products developed and engineered to mimic the vintage appeal of authentic aluminum Cobras while handily out-performing pretty much anything on the street. The assembly of this roadster's professionally finished body began with a steel-lined GRP molding that was hand-tweaked and gel coated on a full-size rotisserie rack. Once that coating was complete, he newly formed fuselage was smoothed by a seasoned fiberglass professional, aked in an even coat of primer and inspected top-to-bottom to ensure first-class quality. When quality control was cleared, lean PPG Black Magic was detailed with Black ghost stripes with red pin, overed in three layers of ChemSpec clear, aked and cured for three days, nd finally, lattened and polished to a head-turning shine. And today, his super slick Cobra is a sophisticated build that exhibits twice the style and twice the race-bred DNA of a typical replicar boulevard cruiser.

Detailing is crucial on a replica because that's where a lot of cars start to disappoint. Fortunately, ou can tell the overall impression of one of these roadsters from about five feet away. And naturally, ince were featuring it, his Cobra hits all the right visuals! At the front of the car, sculpted and re-angled nose hangs blacked out Tripod headlights over mesh grilles. A sculpted hood anchors a scoop in front of locking latches and Blacked out windshield wipers. Behind that hood, tinted windshield hangs a small Backdraft Racing mirror in front of clear wind wings, ark-tint visors, roll bar and a familiar, onza-style fuel filler. At the sides of the car, lacked out and shielded exhaust pipes, inned air extractors and 3M quarter guards. And at the back of the car, lacked out tail lamps combine with a tag light to illuminate a locking trunk handle and two quick lifts.

ENGINE

This roadster's houses a Roush Supercharged Coyote V8. During its 2014 dyno run, wisted 609 horsepower into 527 lb./ft. of torque! Built from the ground up as your ticket to major acceleration and killer speed, his engine is the latest and greatest in technologically advanced engines. Aesthetically, ith the supercharger in the forefront, his hot engine looks right at home in the car's mirror-like bay.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

When it's time to put your hair in the wind, orget about outdated Toploader 4-speeds because this modern-day Cobra blisters the pavement with a fresh Tremec T56 6-speed. That world-class transmission delivers power to a 3.46 limited-slip BMW rear end that creates whiplash-inducing acceleration while still allowing the car to loaf along at highway speeds. That drivetrain, hich is bolted to a hot-rolled rectangular steel ladder-type chassis, ends power through the same BMW-sourced MacPherson strut front and fully independent rear suspension that's become a Backdraft hallmark. And thanks to that suspension's adjustable front stabilizer bar, ully adjustable rear ride height and BMW power steering system, ou're getting a Cobra that has a performance threshold capable of humiliating much more expensive hardware. Brakes are power-assisted discs at all four corners that, hanks to this car's featherweight construction, re virtually impervious to fade. And there's simply nothing that looks better on a Cobra than a set of Knock Off style wheels, hich spin sticky 265/35ZR18 Falkens in front of aggressive 295/40ZR18 Falkens.

INTERIOR

Cobra interiors have always been simple, nd one look inside this roadster reveals just how serious the car's aspirations are when it comes to being driver-focused. Backdraft Racing buckets stretch tight leather hides between 4-point Crow Enterprizes harnesses. In front of those seats, carbon fiber dash founds Moal telemetry above metal Backdraft Racing foot pedals. At the sides of that dash, ightweight doors hang red-stitched pulls above small map pockets. Below those doors, lean carpet centers a polished e-brake and Backdraft Racing shifter between color-keyed Backdraft Racing floor mats. The driver stays connected to the asphalt thanks to a Sparco Racing wheel, hich twists Alcantara. And the passengers' cargo stows in a carpeted trunk that's fitted with an integrated trickle charger.
