If I remember right... I saw a shoot out between the Evo and STi.. and the Evo came out on top. There is a shootout between the STi and the '03 Cobra coming out that had the Cobra just edge out the STi. That leaves the Cobra and the Evo... could be close.

Actually its very close. 0-60 is close on these cars... the evolution pulling off a 4.59 (5.1 according to mitsubishi). And the Cobra not far with a 4.82. Quarter-mile times even closer, the Evo came out behind the Cobra

The Cobra was recorded at [email protected] mph, and the Evo got a [email protected] mph. 60-0 the mitsubishi took the win though, Cobra stopped at 116 feet-Evo at 106 feet. Top speed the Cobra won though, got 159 mph (governed) and the EVO stoped at 156 mph (also governed). MOTORTREND June, 2003. So i guess both cars have their ups and downs.

the Cobra has more power and has a better 1/4 mile. but the EVO and STi are lighter and have better handling. but the EVO and STi are still competitive in 1320.

they are close but for my money i'd go with EVO i can't pass up that ride the looks grip AWD and turbo. don't get me wrong the cobra is sick but damn EVOs are neat.

All just depends on what you want the car for. You want a dragster get the Cobra, you want a rally car get the Evo. Personally I prefer drag so I would go with the Cobra nothin like the growl of American muscle.

All of these cars are great performers, but my vote goes to the Ford Cobra. I just don't think that chicks dig the Evo & STi, or even know what they are.

All great cars performance wise but the power they are getting out of stock block 03 Cobra's is f-ing ridiculous!

95gts98gt · #10 12-09-2003, 08:13 PM

i think the cobra has the best looks out of all of em then sti then evo
the evo looks like a brick with a homosexual front and rear wings

F23A4Racer750IL · #11 12-09-2003, 09:11 PM

lol. yea now that i think bout it they look fag. the EVO VI's look alot better.

nacho_nissan · #12 12-09-2003, 09:34 PM

The STi looks the best...The cobra looks like any other regular mustang,unless you start paying close attention, I saw a STi a few days ago around here, It looked really nice,the Evo is not that nice,but it's a beast on the track..

Razor19 · #13 12-09-2003, 10:40 PM

Laff, Nacho how would you know its a beast on the track you get all your information from magazines. Looks all just depends on what you are looking for. Personally I prefer the Cobra the best. Not to long not to short. STi and EVO look like pudgy little things. Not to mention I'm not a big fan of sedans

Hypsi87 · #14 12-10-2003, 12:08 AM

evos and STi's = crappy at track they have the AWD to pull them out of the hole but afterthat they run out of steam. Does anyone read hot rod mag??? ultimate shootout article. cobra vs. STi. very good article.

OK so motor trend tested them to be close in the quarter and 0-60. Bad source of info. Put'em both on the track. Once that Cobra is on slicks with a real driver she'll run 12s. As for the EVO, with what you'd spend on a cold air intake and a header you could get the Cobra into the 11's (pulley, K&N, Gears, Exhaust) except then you have to put in a rollcage......I love real cars.
