newbie from jersey

i drive a 2004 Mustang GT 5 Speed and im saving up for a new car so i dont waste my money dumping it into a car where i wont get anything for my mods when i go to sell it.
so ive been looking at the terminators (03-04 mustang cobras) and obviously the evos which is why im here.

in jersey, a more rational car would be the evo because of the all wheel drive....but those terminators can put down 500rwhp with bolt ons...

I sold my 2001 gt for a evo IX, best thing I did. Really happy with the evo. I would like to get a 03-04 cobra in my collection. My collection right now consists of my IX and my wifes WRX and a 200,000 mile cherokee and a 86 bronco slowly rusting and disintegrating.

there are a few questions that you have to ask yourself,
Is this going to be your daily driver?
What is the main goal for the car, auto x, time attack, drag racing, etc?
Do you want drivable power or just raw horse power?
How much money do you want to spend?
When you decide what your goals are, list them and we will be able to help better.
Good luck.

I live in Jersey and have both a Mustang and an Evo. I will not touch the Mustang when it snows. Two different cars altogether. Pro's and cons on both. The Evo is pure addiction and heaven forbid you attend an Evo meet while owning one, then it's all over for you because then you spend countless hours thinking about your next mod, or shall I say your next mod fix.

My advice, go to a meet and see them up close. The forum is cool and all but you can't get the actual feel of the car nor the culture that goes along with it unless you see it live. Talk to some owners at a meet.

Good luck but I do agree with most of the folks that have already replied, go with the Evo.

If it's going to be your only method of transportation, the EVo is the way to go. Can't beat AWD in bad weather.
