Cobra's are overrated

The Evolution exited before it ever had anything to do with a Lancer. That was just the next (and current) platform that Mitsu chose for its Rally existence after previously being a Galant VR4. The SRT-4 is a Neon with a turbo. The Evolution is not a Lancer with a turbo.

Comparing evos to cobras cannot be put into context.
- Terrible gas milage mine gets 17
- For the price they should stay on the track better this makes no sense
- Lopsided weight distributionagreed
- Poor tractionthat is why I ran a 12.2 on DR's....
- Cheap undurable materials from interior to exterior (finish is OK).where is your proof
- Mustangs are generally marketed for womenyeah....I see so many women driving Cobras....That applies to the lancer too. Any dude who drives a Lancer less than a EVO is ghay IMO, that would be like driving a civic
- Enginered and assembled by lazy union employes (like myself)that is why it is the top selling domestic company
- Cobra owners consistantly say the 'F' word between pronouns and adverbsyeah....so wo EVO owners, and GM owners, and Honda owners....good one.

Have you ever driven an 03-04 Cobra?

Spend time with your little one they are truely a blessing. I have two myself a split-tail and a boy. With proper parenting my son will never own a cobra, however the cobra would be a good car for my daughter.

Your list about the Cobra is funny, but not really all that true. The EVO's materials are just as much on the cheap side as the interior of a Mustang. I prefer my EVO's interior, but the seats and shifter in my CObra were awesome. I was never a fan of the dash, but I couldn't complain abou tit with 390whp.
The paint was ALOT better on the Cobra.I'd get about 250-280 miles on my CObra staying out of the gas and highway driving. My EVO gets about the same. Even if it has a bigger tank and motor, it's a fair trade off with the power it has.
My Cobra hooked really good on the street. Just stomping it in 1st gear would throw you and your passenger in the seat and pin you there. The car hardly got sideways unless I made it do it.

Please stick to things that you do know about because it has become quite apparent by your post that Drag Racing or understanding a Time Slip is not any of them.

Cobras are stupid
Sorry, I just wanted to write the dumbest thing in this thread.
I think we should now have a lovefest with the Cobra guys. Fast cars are fast cars.
We could have one meet at the drags, and one meet at a rally. Feel the love?

Here is a good example of how fast the 03 cobra is,with bolt on's,against a totally stock 06 corvette z06,not to pretty,but the new z06 is an awesome machine,not even in the same league as the Cobra,even though it is more than just a straight line car,Enjoy

I'd love to have me a C6 Vette. I don't care if its'a base model or not. I just love those cars.

Please don't .....bla, bla I hate to say it....I love EVO's, but it isn't a sports car. They are quick, and handle awesome. But don't compare them(or Cobras) to supercars.
The evo is a rally car but just so happens to competative with $100,000 sports cars on the track, futhermore do OK on the strip. They are infact, a poor mans supercar.
You are kidding, right? Nope
Have you ever driven an 03-04 Cobra? No, but I bet it's fun

- Poor tractionthat is why I ran a 12.2 on DR's tractionin a straight line maybe, I'm talking about corner exit speed

Any dude who drives a Lancer less than a EVO is ghay IMO, that would be like driving a civic you are comparing a cobra to a lancer, the only thing lancers and evos have in common is the trunklid and fuel guage, yes the mustang originally was marketed for chicks in the 60's and 70% owners I see are girls
- Enginered and assembled by lazy union employes (like myself)that is why it is the top selling domestic company the pet rock was once top selling too
- Cobra owners consistantly say the 'F' word between pronouns and adverbsyeah....so wo EVO owners, and GM owners, and Honda owners....good one. what is "so wo"?

Yes cobras are sligtly faster accelerating cars than evos, but the above satirical comparison was not stressing that topic. I was just pointing out some facts about the cobra.
Here you go, compare an Evo to a cobra with similiar driver skills at Sebring, or any race course (not drag strip) for that manner. You know what the results would be.
