Evo or Cobra
IMO the evo is a better car.
1. Evo is newer and you are the only one who touched it. (who knows what problems will come with the stang)
2. If you think your evo gets bad gas mileage.... Supercharged v8 will be much worse
3. AWD advantage (year round driveability)
4. Ford reliability vs. Mitsu reliability.... its a toss up.
5. Coupe vs Sedan
6. The terminator is a redneck legend and comes with that stereotype.

The Cobra's clutches are alot more agressive. Hoestly my Evo felt like a lexus compared to the Cobra. The gears felt like ****, the clutch was to stiff, and the whole car felt like a boat.
i didn't vote because both cars are completely different from one another. It depends on what primarily you will be using your car for.
If you are only go to drag then the Cobra will be your best choice. It can do be set up to auto-x or road course, but it performs best in a straight line. Not to practical for everyday use, can't fit four comfortably, insurance.
Now if you want a practical car (4-door), drag, auto-x, road course, etc... then keep the evo. can fit four nicely, insurance is not too bad (i have a clean record and 26), but it can be just as high or higher.
it just comes down to what you want your car to be.

I know 600 whp sounds like fun but honestly where can you even use that kind of power except on a track? My Chevelle runs a scaled down 8,500 RPM sprint car small block and it only pushes 500 crank horsepower, without even breathing hard. It will fry the tires in 4th on the freeway with ease. I could do a few changes to the engine and it would make 650 normally aspirated and spin 9,000 no problem, (no I'm not joking) but I don't really want to because its already on the ragged edge of streetability. Even with all that power I think my Evo will put a pretty good hurt on it. Forget about rain as well, I'll spin out where as in the Evo it feels like its a dry day. Also keep in mind that stuff tends to get more unreliable when you mod it. They are very different cars so think hard before you decide. I'll keep my Evo for daily driving and play with the Chevy on the weekends.
