The track I run at has very few Cobras getting in then 12s. Most run mid 13s and I can only think of one or two running 12s. It doesn't take much to get the EVO there. Exhaust, engine management and some sort of boost controller should get the EVO in the high 12s. Of course, with about $1500 and some slicks, that Cobra will run low 12s to high 11s.

After looking at your sig I notice we are very close in mods. My cams go in soon and then it's custom tune day Nov 13th. I was wondering how much power your making?

It's easy to beat them. You don't need any extra horsepower over stock levels. All you have to do is turn the steering wheel every now and then.

See, most evo owners don't know this but If you yell really loud... you'll feel it kick in.
