EVO vs Cobra....

hell, kenne bell built one with 600hp, simply swapping the s/c and reprogramming the ecu (stock internals and exhaust)... not too shabby...

do that with an evo (600hp on stock internals and exh)

it's not hard to make the mustang handle either, as the chassis design is almost 20 years old, and everyone in the mustang aftermarket makes upgrades for it, ranging from street to all out racecar.

but the same goes for the evo, so it's pretty even.

if you left em stock, i'd take the evo, but if i could mod it, i'd go mustang, just to be different. and it WOULD eat any evo on a track (road or drag) after it was modded...

but by no means is the evo any less of a car, and it still is amazing to me.

Saying it's beat ANY Evo is pretty damn ignorant- just because you can get more power for cheaper with the Mustang- doesn't mean that the Evo's can't achieve just as much power- but cost slightly more. The Evo is a very tuneable car- the 4G63 after-market is endless- there are plenty of Evos running 9 second quarter miles without affecting the cars ability to turn a corner.
