Just my 2 cents
I would have to say that cobras are a great car along with c6 zo6, and f-bodys. I had a f-body and personally think that it takes no brain power to build one. LT-Headers and exhaust and i dynoed at 353whp. Us evo guys get our kicks out of doing with little and getting somewhere. Not once did anyone say we were at all faster or easier to modify. Some people like to get big number quick and easy those should buy a cobra or of that nature. Those who like the thrill of using there head to build a car and use technology instead of muscle those should buy a evo or of that nature. This is my 2 cents and i think they are both great cars but i think the pleasure for me would be beating a cobra in a lil evo then to beat a evo in a big, bad cobra.

I totally respect your opinion and am not going to get into an arguement....but the Cobra (not mustang) is very well crafted.
Like I said, I love EVO's....but you are comparing apples to oranges.

Quality and Mitsubishi should not go in the same sentence. The paint on these cars suck my a$$ and the interior is almost just as bad as the Cobra. I work for Ford and weather you want to believe it or not quality is JOB #1 when we build cars and trucks.

I'm not about to read this whole thread, but I will say if you don't like the Cobra for what it is then your not a car enthusiasts.
I really like 03+ Cobra's and for the money they are fun to mod just as much as any other car. They sound great with the right exhaust and with the *right* mods installed for a few thousand dollars you can extract a good bit of power.
.....BUT, IMO the above statement about your RWD 390hp Cobra handling better in the snow than your Evo just discredited you from making any more comments about cars. You can't possibly be serious.

The first winter I had my EVO I thought it had AWD and it couldn't be bad. I was wrong. I slid in the middle of a intersection while trying to stop, slid off a on ramp down in the grass, while making a turn in my neighborhood the rear end came out and I almost took out a brick mailbox. I wasn't driving like a retard or trying to play in the snow. The car completely sucked in the snow with the Advans on to where I KNOW FOR A FACT my Cobra was better in the snow. Both cars were driven without getting into boost all time while driving in the snow. Never one time did I TRY to do anyhting stupid.
Now that I have some All Seasons on my EVO it's a different ball game. My EVO does better.

with all the members having similar problems in the snow due to the stock advan's inability to grip, i'll have to acquiesce with corey. it is believable that a rwd car with better or all-season tires will handle better than an awd car w/ summer or dry tires in the snow. even statistically with the many mishaps recently occurring to our members on this board it's fathomable to think that the evo's stock trim sucks in cold climates, much less icy or snowy conditions.

As far as you,building Fords and making quality Job #1,it is no wonder that they are failing So and producing such P.O.S. cars.Hell,a good friend and neighbor of mine works on the quality cars that you produce in a Ford Dealer and makes $120k+ each year,working only 40 hours a week,never a weekend or past 4:30pm and says for you to keep producing those Quality vehicles,because if Ford did produce quality he would have to live a different lifestyle
It is sad when a Japanesse Auto Manufacture who has only been in the Auto business for 50 years and only has sent cars to U.S.A. for 40 of those years bumps Ford out of the #2 spot of sales and quality and is Gunning for G.M. to be the #1 best selling auto manfacture in the U.S.A. Yes,thats right,you guessed it,TOYOTA..... Even Mitsubishi,with their poor sales and all the problems that they have Still builds a better vehicle then Ford,SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The funny thing is most of you never had driven a Cobra and will sit here and bash it cause of the nameplate. THere are alot of narrowminded people on here. There are just as good and better cars than the all mighty EVO. GOD FORBID ANOTHER CAR TO DO SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE EVO!!!!. THis whole thread people have made good points about the Cobra and some people resort to lame *** comments like:
1. "well my car does better in the snow"
2. "I can fit 4 adults in my car and have the all be comfortable."
3. "If I put studded tires on my car it will run circles around the Cobra."
4. "put both cars on a road course and see what car is faster."
5. "well since your car is faster our quality is better."
Number 5 sounds like a Subaru comment. These things obviously don't bother the Cobra guys or they wouldn't have bought the car.
Don't try to knock my work ethic either. I do my job the way it should be done 4 days a week and 10 hours a day. The line is stopped when its needed to be and I'll repair what has to be done. NOTHING gets out of my area messed up without being repaired or written up for the repair man to fix. I do my just just like it should be from the first truck to the 300th truck of the night. If our quality is as bad as you say it is we wouldn't have a order bank of almost 70,000 trucks this month.

Who freaking cares what car can drive around what car in the stupid snow!!!!!! OOOohhhh guys let's go race in the freaking snow what a blast.
Hearing EVO owners always throw up the "I'll beat em in the rain" or "let's take it on a rally man" just concede sometimes...some cars are better than a EVO at certain things, so what!
