What exactly do you want out of your car?
Are you going to rally race? drag? road race? street race? auto-x?
Most scenarios where you need 'v8 like take off speed', you don't need handling. Most road/rally/auto-x races you wouldn't launch at start due to a lot of reasons (regulations, to safety, to durability etc). Drag races you obviously don't need anything out of turning other than turning radius to move the car to the strip easier. Street race mainly consists of drag race from dig, drag race from roll, and highway chases, at least in the states.

1) If you wanted to race a mustang around a track with corners you dont need handling
2) or street racing with corners wouldnt the backend come or spin you out in the worst case scenerio?
3) What im gettting at is a mustang good car for drag racing compared to evo that about it.
4) So yeah the handling of a mustang sucks.

1) if you want to race AROUND a track (ie - not a dragrace) then yes, you do need a car that handles well.
2) the backend could come out just as easy on a track as on the street; depends on the driver/setup of the car.
3) both mustangs and evos are good drag cars (straightline). the evo will have the edge in auto-x'ing and roadcourses because of the awd, but mustangs can be made to be fast on those courses as well.
4) not true; the 03-04 Cobras were a nice improvement over the previous generations in terms of handling. not as sharp as an evo, but still an improvement.
thats the best i can do with that post

Im guessing you A. either bought the car this way or B. have a ton of money and gave it to a shop to build for you with no knowledge of what was going under the hood because if you were worried about lag you probably could have chosen a different turbo maybe?
Sorry you just come across as someone who has no clue about turbos and how they work, etc.

please take a little more time to type your posts clearly, i cant even make sense of this.

1) Mustang should not be in that category.
2) Duh
3)Mustang is a much better drag car and way better for a daily driver. The mustang has no chance against the evo in the twisties.
4)03-04 still dont compare to the handling of an evo. And nowhere near it. So what I was saying is true why would you say its not. Do you not know the differences between the two. Theirs big differences.

At least at autocrosses I've seen a few mustangs run and some of them did better than the evos or were very close. It all depends on your setup and driver.

I'm surprised the auto cross events must of had long straits. Normally evos should be able to beat mustangs at a track. The evo drivers must have had no exprience with an evo.
At the most recent event I've been to the evo actually had the best time of the day. It was a regular SOLO II event with many turns and a slalom. The mustang was only two seconds behind him.

you don't seem to be understanding that anything can be made to go around a roadcourse/auto-x quickly, and anything can be made to go fast down a 1/4 mile strip. read what i quoted you saying above in "#2" - you asked about the backend spinning out, and i answered, then you replied with "duh" - weren't you asking a question? why would you say "duh" to the answer? your third point: mustangs are superior drag cars, and evo will kill it in twisties. you're still not understanding that either car can be made to do either course depending on setup/driver. it seems like YOU don't know the difference between the two cars! im trying to explain it; its almost like you're just throwing generalizations out there about cars that you've never seen perform on a track. don't take this the wrong way, but you sound really inexperienced when it comes to cars/racing. you've proven it multiple times in this thread.
