Glistening, low-mileage Backdraft RT4 in Sterling Grey Metallic finish/bright silver stripes.  This snake strikes a big punch with 553 horsepower from the highly-sought–after Roush 427R and backed by a Tremec TKX 5-speed gearbox.

It’s loaded with lots of extras including dual-zone heated seats, removable bikini top, snap-less cockpit cover (tonneau cover), glovebox, car cover, and more.  She is in excellent condition inside, outside and underneath, and everything is in top-notch working order. All maintenance and service has been performed by the roundly respected Backdraft dealer, Radical Roadsters of Texas.
