Evo or Mustang

Hey what do you guys think about the Mustang GT? Ive always wanted one and now i have the option of getting one or an evo 8. Which do you think would be better for straight line performance? I wont be doing a lot of mods so i only want maybe like 350-400hp since it will be my daily ( if even that much). I know the evo kills it in the snow but if i dont drive like an *** i should be fine when winter comes.(Snow tires + Traction control) If i decide to get an evo i would have to have it shipped or drive down to get it and the mustang i can get from a dealer down the street. So which do you think would be best? All wheel drive is a plus but theres rarely any snow here and when there is i can always get the Snow Tires/Traction.

Evo > Stang.

If it's a 03/04 Cobra...it would be more of a debate, but just a GT? Definately be taking the Evo over that!

You've got to look at more than power. The mustang is notorious for poor handling (overall performance handling, not just "ride") especially when compared to the evolution. If its a new mustang, you'll have a nicer interior but the performance is infinitely more biased to the evo

totally different car... v8 vs turbo 4.
Some people just love how v8 sound..and feel
some people prefer the turbo spool.

I'm not even gonna even go into handling...

Straightline performance the evo wins in stock form...

I have raced a 06 mustang gt on drag radials and full exhaust with no cats and I beat him by at least a couple of cars. When all I had was a stage 3 kevlar clutch and spare tire out of the car.

Although the evo is faster 9 out of 10 peoplein the stands who dont know crap about cars say the mustang is faster .....

because it seems as now a days evos, cobras, supras, camaros etc are now kings of the roads and my gt seems worthless without dumping tons of money into it while going the forced induction route. i agree that the mustang platform is a pos (with the exception of the cobra engines)while the evo in every way is superior.

Wow.

The EVO, definatley! . . . . . A mustang?.......Come on! . . . . . Get a mustang just like a Billion other people in the US.... Even my little sister has one..... An 04- for her sweet 16 !!!! When I was looking into getting an new car -I had a GS-t and I was debating between an Evo-Sti- or a G35........... Go test drive the both, and the think about this: The Mustang is an f***** V-8!...... What a weak piece of S***!

Just my opinion though .
