If your looking for a intake I got a guy who makes billet ones for 2v & 4v mod motors he did some one off stuff for my race car & if you need cams let me know my buddy "Wild" Bill Devine @ Pro Power can take care of you.
and for 300bhp/ton I have respect for two camaros Randy Lambert's & Steve Kirk Jr.'s
oh btw this is my buddies 03 cobra...the first one bought on the east coast & the first 03 cobra to race in a NMRA event which was Maple Grove with 534 miles on the car !!
and another pic of my car @ WFC 8

well said.. making the evo go as fast in a straight for the same amount of money is damn near in possible.. but in the same regard it would cost alot of money to make a cobra out handle and out grip the evo in turns, I wish I could have a cobra for highway pulls and that sorta thing, its hard to really unleash what the evo is capable of unless your at autox or on a race track.. youll never really learn to appreciate what the car is capable of unless your in an on the edge situation which is where its at its best. Its all about where the the money goes into the car... which in the cobras case is clearly the engine, where with the evo they balanced the cost of the car amongst all perfoamance aspects... brakes definately come to mind as a major difference and slowing down in an evo with some slightly modded braking systems can be awesome.. its a not all about accelerating fast.

LOL! Cobras are at the top of the food chain when it comes to fast for cheap and Evos are probably the next best option. Saying that a Cobra is overated based off of one victory is absurd and idiotic. Both cars rule the streets/tracks/strips etc and both are relatively fast for street cars.

It's not so much folks here are some kind of Cobra fan club as just a Reality Club. I mean pretty much everyone knows that Cobras are ****ing fast cars, and -if anything- they may be underrated by the Import Community as a whole... Most guys on here are Car Guys before Evo Guys, and true Car Guys respect fast cars, especially ones that can be made fast for less $, which both the Cobra and Evo are...
