It can't be a coincidence that the founder of Backdraft is from South Africa and Superformance is also based in South Africa. What is the connection between these two companies, who both manufacture Cobra replicas?

I’ve been involved with building and drag racing Fords for almost 50 years. That’s why I have admired the level of technology and overall build quality that goes into every Backdraft Cobra I’ve seen since they were made available in the States. I appreciate an extreme automobile built with the drivers pleasure in mind and with the very favorable power to weight ratio of this Cobra, it’s sure to please. Overall this video is pretty good but the first employee interviewed seemed pretty well bored with the whole thing. I can’t imagine being involved with the production of Backdraft Cobras and having a bad day. A few minutes behind the wheel would surely get a positive change of attitude. The cost of the two turnkey engine examples mentioned seems a little high but to a person that is unable to build their own, then that’s the price one must pay. I would prefer to build an old school Ford engine that has a great winning record in Pro Stock drag racing. Especially during its dominance during the seventies before the NHRA began imposing rule changes aimed directly at this Ford small block engine to handicap it to the point of being unable to complete against the GM and Chrysler fan favorites and sponsors huge support dollars. The canted valve Ford Cleveland small blocks were eventually factored right out of their dominance in Pro Stock so the GM fan favorites could have a better chance of winning again. Now that’s the engine I would put in a Backdraft Cobra rolling chassis. The 351 Cleveland engine has started getting some serious aftermarket support over the past few years with aluminum alloy blocks and heads being produced in American foundries and distributed by a few well known companies that specializes in hardcore Cleveland engines. The Australian performance aftermarket support for Clevelands can be seen here on KZbin with alloy small block 461 cubic inch builds featuring single 4-V combinations WITHOUT power adders twisting the dyno to 934 horsepower and 669 lb/ft of torque on pump fuel. The same engine on race fuel exceeded the 1000 horsepower mark. Another fine example here in the States can be found on this page under the listing of DragBoss. While his TrackBoss American made all alloy 427 Cleveland is being built, his 408-C stroker using a OEM production Cleveland cast iron block and Ford alloy Cleveland heads with a single Holley 4-V for use in his street driven ‘69 Cougar turned the engine dyno to 752 hp @ 7600 rpms. Torque was strong with 571 lb/ft @5600 rpms. Did I mention no power adders 🤔 That’s why I would choose my 351 Cleveland boat anchor to power a 2400 pound Cobra. And using OEM Ford cast iron components, it can be built for less than half the price of the $ 23,000 engine option shown in this video. Cobra + Cleveland = good times for sure 🏁😉

I hear from Modern Muscle in Ocala that you have the auto trans option in the Cobra. Curious if that's the standard 6 speed or the 7 speed paddle shift gearbox.

These cars are cool but I can’t seem to get a look at the chassis (frame) is it the original style ladder chassis or a more modern tubular structure such as the factory five?

It is a ladder style frame utilizing a full independent multilink rear suspension and a coil over strut in the front. Our chassis design is different from FFR as they use a bird cage design.
