The Backdraft Roadster has been extensively developed and refined
over many years as a race proven, high performance sports car. With
60's styling and the use of a modern independent suspension it
provides the ultimate in styling and drivability. It offers
lightning quick performance, sure-footed handling, compliant ride
comfort and excellent braking ability in a well rounded package
that is unrivaled for quality and value.
The body is a high quality, one-piece GRP (Glass Reinforced
Plastic) molding, with extra reinforcing at the wheel arches. Each
body is assembled on a rotating jig which allows access to all
parts of the mold. After the molds are polished and prepared with a
release agent a polyester gel coat is applied. Before the
fiberglass is applied to the mold, strategic areas of the body are
hand reinforced with fiber mat. Certain areas of the body are also
reinforced with steel inserts to complete the preparation for the
fiberglass. The fiberglass which is combined with a catalyzed resin
is then shot onto the mold surface at a controlled rate. When the
body has finished curing it is removed from the mold and placed in
a separate jig for the installation of the tub. The floor,
transmission tunnel, fire wall, front inner wheel wells and luggage
compartment are laminated into the main body molding in a jig to
ensure accuracy, rigidity and strength. The engine bay and front
inner fenders are finished in white gel coat for a smooth
appearance, durability and ease of cleaning and maintenance.
Unlike many that are powered by lesser engines, this beast, like
the original, has a 427 Ci that absolutely Roars!!!

and upgrades:
Engine and Transmission -

- 495 Horsepower and 522 lb-ft of Torque - Tremec T5 5-Speed Manual
Transmission Front Suspension -
The front suspension used on the roadster features a cast lower
wishbone with a McPherson style coil over strut. The strut has been
custom fabricated to suit the needs of the Roadster. An adjustable
stabilizer bar which assists with the overall fine tuning of the
car's handling is used. The car comes standard with a rack and
pinion type steering system with 4 turns lock to lock as the
standard ratio. The steering column is made from high quality
stainless steel tubing connecting to a CNC machined billet aluminum
steering boss.
Rear Suspension -
Setting the power safely to the ground is handled by a centrally
guided multilink rear suspension. The independent rear suspension
offers camber and toe adjustments. It is also fully height
adjustable which makes it easier to fine tune for street and track
use. The suspension has proven itself both on and off the race
track. In conjunction with the front coil over struts you are
guaranteed a thrilling driving experience.
Brakes -
The roadster features power disc brakes on all four corners. The
calipers used are all single piston calipers supplied by ATE. The
calipers are fed from a vacuum assisted booster with a dual stroke
