Are you a straight line guy or some one that smiles everytime he takes a turn a tad quicker than he should?

Answer that question and you've found your solution.

 

I cant stand a mustang. those things are fast but..... ehh it's all up to personal preference.

 

i am a straight line guy but my evo is pretty dang fast in a straight like 2 i beat a new pro charged Shelby

 

+ 10000


but personally i wouldnt do it...unless i knew the history of the car since brand new

 

Keep your IX. It's value is still higher. Financially simple answer.

 

something just seems odd...mustang guy wanting an evo??would this mean you would be sleeping on the left side of the bed?

dont get me wrong alot of them are fast..but not my cup of tea

i may be wrong about this so dont take it as true...but one of the techs at my job had one and got rid of it cuz theres some sort of "tickin" noise that happen when the heads are messed up?if anyone can clarify?again idk if its true

 

Mustangs are turds. I work on domestic cars all day, and no mustang no matter what year, build, spec, model will ever be as reliable as your Evo.

I'm sure the owner knows this and is so willing to trade.

The Evo is rated right now as the highest resale value sedan. The mustang is probably worth half that.

 

KB is a supercharger, and its all up too you. Both nice cars, is there a link to this cobra or any pictures/specs.

 

As soon as I saw this thread, I thought of that episode of Top Gear also. IMHO the Evo is a better DD that the Cobra. Plus the Evo responds well to mods and can be a formidable drag car.

 

i do agree the evo responds well to mods but the Cobra responds much better....

600 whp is like tooooo easy to get in a cobra with little money.

 

tough one but i would keep the evo...

 

I have a 2v supercharged mustang AND an Evo.

Both cars are a lot of fun in their own way.

I wouldn't agree that the mustang is badly built. After all, its making 440 whp (470 whp with race gas) on the stock shortblock, stock transmission, stock rear end, stock axles, etc. It has over 200 passes at the drag strip, runs low-11s at 126 mph, and is still completely streetable. I've doubled the whp from the factory, and it's taking it like a champ.

In a straight line, the stang wins. On a curvy road, the Evo wins. So its really a matter of what's more important to you.

Easy answer, GET BOTH

 

03 and 04 Cobras mod easy like the evos. They come with 360-380 whp on a dynojet stock. If u can keep the evo and save up and get the cobra. I am seeing if i can keep my evo and that is going to be my next car is a 03 Cobra. with a coupl of mods u can get them to 450-460 whp and a lot of torq too at really low RPMS. Both are sick cars if u can get both u would have best of both worlds

 

Keep the evo all the way. But honestly since this is an evo forum it is definitely biased. I'm sure if you post this on a mustang forum everyone will say get the mustang. But yeah keep the evo.

 

Thats a really tough one! cobras are nice but usually when they are modded the owner drives the **** out of them.
