EVO MR FQ400 vs. Corvette Z06 vs. Mustang Cobra R
Just how good is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR FQ400? This car is considered the ultimate EVO, coming from the factory with 400+ HP. We all know about the Corvette Z06 and what it can do, no stock EVO VIII could compare to a Corvette Z06 stock for stock, until now. Another great american car is the 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R, would the EVO MR FQ400 destroy the Cobra R? Which is best, the 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR FQ400 or the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 or the 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R?
2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR FQ400 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder 405HP@6800RPM 355TQ@5000RPM 6-Speed Manual AWD vs. 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 5.7L 8-Cylinder 405HP@6000RPM 400TQ@4800RPM 6-Speed Manual RWD vs. 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R 5.4L 8-Cylinder 385HP@6250RPM 385TQ@4250RPM 6-Speed Manual RWD |

I gotta go with the Evo on this one. As quick as the Z06 is, that Evo is just too crazy.

I vote evo too... 3.5 secs 0-60. Porsche Carrera GT 3.8 secs 0-60. The evo's fast, nimble, it can do 4 to 1 wheel drive.... just too crazy.

Re: EVO MR FQ400 vs. Corvette Z06 vs. Mustang Cobra R
Ya, but i'm sure that is because they have to ship the Corvettes over there. The Evo is a great car, but for $47,000 you can get a 601hp '04 Mustang Cobra with all Cobra R suspension and other goodies. It is a package that can be ordered on the last of Cobras for the year. And will do 0-60mph in 3.9 and the 1/4mile in 11.9 seconds.

Re: EVO MR FQ400 vs. Corvette Z06 vs. Mustang Cobra R
Two Reason why the 2006 Z06 isn't there, first reason is because not enough information is avaliable about that car, and second I wanted the cars to have similiar HP numbers. That's why I don't have a Viper in the comparison.

As far as subjective styling points go, Z06 all the way. The Evo doesn't have the sleek sporty style that I like, and neither does the Cobra.
Performance wise the Evo is going to have to get the nod. The old Evo VIII has proven its solid backing numbers, and I wouldn't expect the FQ400 to be anything different. To bad it isn't offered in US, and chances are if it were, it would be watered down a bit. Gas sucks here, and it would more than likely have to change a bit to compensate. The price of a new C6 in UK is around 40,000 pounds so I couldn't see an older Z06 worth more than that. 46,999 pounds for the FQ400 would make it cost $13,000 more than a C6. For cars that are both bargains for what you get, is it worth the extra dough? (what do you guys think?) Of coarse this isn't all about value, so I'll leave that where it is. At the end of the day I would still rather drive the Z06, but hey, thats just the way I like my sports cars! The Cobra R is a worthy note, but I think it would still fall slightly short of the Z06, and a bit behind the FQ400. This doesn't mean its not a good car, its just not my cup of tea. |
