Godzilla-Powered Backdraft Racing RT4B GT Roadster 5-Speed
Presentation
This Backdraft Racing RT4B Roadster was assembled circa 2022 and is outfitted with GT bodywork, a Big and Tall interior, a five-speed manual transmission, and a 7.3-liter Godzilla V8. Finished in white with black stripes, the car rolls on knock-off 18″ Halibrand-style wheels and is equipped with the Black Out trim package, adjustable suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, a single roll hoop, LED lighting, and a ceramic-coated sidepipe exhaust system. The cockpit features low-back bucket seats trimmed in black leather with yellow accents as well as a Sabelt steering wheel and racing harnesses, push-button ignition, and Classic Instruments AutoCross gauges. Work in September 2026 included replacing the clutch and resurfacing the flywheel. This RT4B Roadster now shows 2k miles following the seller’s 2026 acquisition and is offered with a car cover, a USB drive containing files related to the car, and a Tennessee title describing the vehicle as a 2022 ROAT RT4.
The white paintwork is complemented by black over-the-top stripes and yellow pinstriping, and the car was specified with the GT Body and Black Out trim packages. Other details include a single roll hoop, a hood scoop, LED headlights, clear front marker lights, windshield frame-mounted side mirrors, wind wings, quick jack bumperettes, a LeMans-style fuel filler cap, and ceramic-coated side-exit exhaust pipes with perforated heat shields.
Black 18″ Halibrand-style wheels feature yellow lettering, are secured with safety-wired three-eared knock-off spinners, and are mounted with Hankook Ventus RS4 tires. Adjustable suspension and four-wheel disc brakes are fitted.
The low-back bucket seats are upholstered in black leather with yellow stitching and accents, and coordinated material extends to the transmission tunnel and door panels. Sabelt racing harnesses with camlock quick releases are fitted for each occupant, and the cockpit is also appointed with push-button ignition, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and a battery safety cutoff switch. The Big and Tall interior also has lowered seat pans, extended footwells, and a recessed hand brake. A December 2025 entry on the Carfax report notes “minor damage with another motor vehicle” that involved a parked vehicle.
The Sabelt steering wheel is trimmed in black suede and has a yellow centering stripe. Classic Instruments AutoCross gauges consist of a 200-mph speedometer, a yellow-finished 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary readouts. The five-digit odometer shows 2k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added under current ownership.
The 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 is equipped with yellow-finished Indy Power Products billet coil and valve covers as well as an aluminum fuel tank. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.

For the people asking about us vertically challenged being able to reach the pedals. I bought a 2025 Backdraft big and tall. I was about 6” from being able to touch the pedals. The dealer moved the seat up to the other set of holes already drilled in the car and also slid the seat up on the track. I’m 5’6” and like to sit close. I have a minimum of 5” more to move the seat forward. It’s easy to make it fit short people.

I remember the bewilderment when the "Mustang Cobra" was produced: "a horse with the heart of a snake?" Now this is "a snake with the heart of the monster that destroyed Tokyo", LOL! Gearhead life just keeps getting better! GLWTA!!!!

@bchcrus it's 550hp and 600lb-ft torque.
Nov 2, 2026 · 14:01
@Stuckinthepast16 wow I didnt realize how few were produced with the godzilla motor. I wonder how many stage 2 were built with black edition like mine?
Nov 2, 2026 · 13:57
@bchcrus I'm pretty sure the stage 1 godzilla is 550HP not sure on torque. I have a stage 2 and its 630HP and 600 torque.

@ab2112 Im 5'9 and i have no problem with my RT4B I like to sit a little close for control but I think I could move the seat back a few inches and still work the clutch to the floor.

@ab2112 my sister at 5'1" struggles to reach the pedals. It looks like 5'7" is the probably the shortest you can be to reach comfortably.
Oct 31, 2026 · 14:22
I'm 6'5" and I can fit in the RT4. Tight, but very doable especially with a quick release steering wheel for ingress.

@ab2112 the seat slides forward and back. My sister is 5'1". I'll ask her to come over tomorrow and see how she fits. Stay tuned.

@ab2112 I am 6'2" without shoes on and have plenty of room. I'd say someone that is a couple inches taller than me would still be very comfortable.
Oct 30, 2026 · 17:48
@Stuckinthepast16 agreed, I have a godzilla stage 2 in my cobra and its a beast. Its actually a little scary to drive but I'm getting used to it.

Great start today, everyone!
If you haven't experienced a Godzilla-powered Backdraft yet, it's a total game-changer. That 7.3L V8 paired with the TKX 5-speed makes this setup the absolute king of the Cobras. It pulls like a freight train in every gear and sounds incredible.
Drop any questions below and keep those bids rolling!

I have seen this car in person and talked to the owner. It looks great and drew a crowd when it was started. I imagine it is a beast to drive.

There’s white line in the passenger side black stripe at the hood line. 46, 47, 48 and 83.
The bottom bulb is not illuminated on the passenger side 2 thru 8. The other 3 are bright but the bottom bulb is not.
I love the engine choice and very excited about the big and tall package!
I’m in PA and you’re in TN. Just trying to figure it all out via pictures. Thx for your time.

Couple of questions from the pictures:
#46 - the black stripe worn to white from hood mis-alignment?
#86 - PS lower headlight bulb out?
#101 - the collector tuber is all scratched on top?
#136 - is the steering wheel material ripped or cut at the 3 o’clock position?

@rickone see attached invoice from the shop. My shop recommended it after their inspection. I only drove the car for about 100 miles. The wear on it was from the previous owner.
Oct 26, 2026 · 18:35
With only 2000 miles on the road, please let us know what happened to necessitate the need for a new clutch and resurfacing of the flywheel.also, what clutch did you install?

@seller - I have to disagree on the rust comments. It's only 4 years old and I'm surprised it would be driven in the wet given the whole lack-of-top thing. Was the car delivered with this much rust when new or was it exposed to salt? Any additional comments on why the frame already has so much rust that it's bubbling the paint/coating?

@rwc there is no chassis damage. Rust is very minimal and standard on vehicles that are driven in wet conditions and are of this age.

@crustypolecat we do not see any repairs and nor did my shop.

@tensking my shop was not able to locate any repairs. They suspect one or both of the quick jacks needed to be replaced. The paint is all original.

@stuckinthepast16 are you able to provide more information and context to the minor accident on the Carfax? @Seller

@seller you should probably do a spirited drive with the new clutch to show everyone the power of godzilla. And to see the clutch works well now.

The video was taken 6 weeks ago. The clutch was replaced and flywheel resurfaced two weeks ago. There is no slippage anymore. Thanks for asking @1krazygravy
Oct 23, 2026 · 08:55
I don't know if it's you or the clutch but in the drive video there is way to much slippage! Does it need replacing again?

Welcome to the auction for my 2022 Backdraft Racing RT4B Black Edition Shelby Cobra! I purchased this roadster as a replacement for my 2020 Shelby GT500, but to be completely honest, I didn't quite think it through, my kids aren't old enough yet to ride along with me like I had planned! This car is an absolute blast and drives incredibly. It gets an unbelievable amount of attention everywhere it goes, from thumbs-up at stop lights and packed parking lots to drive-by double-takes. To ensure the winning bidder has total confidence and a turn-key experience from day one, I had the entire car thoroughly inspected, and just two weeks ago I had a brand-new clutch installed and the flywheel professionally resurfaced. Whoever takes this home is getting a dialed-in, powerhouse machine that they can hit the road with immediately. Good luck bidding, and I'm happy to answer any questions throughout the auction!
