Cobra 9.47@143mph video.

Just your run of the mill mid 9 second Cobra and he hasn't even sprayed the 125 shot yet. Has a EVO ever launched like that???? HELL NO...NOT EVEN SHEP CAN PULL THAT OFF....BAD FREAKING CAR.

Car has a KB blower, PP heads/cams, and a hell of a driver.

It is impressive, but definitely less so with the AMS Evo video out.

and you know, you aren't always driving hard enough to need the racing bucket seats in the EVO either...

try to appreciate it for what it is rather than searching for reasons to tear it down.
You don't get into the nines without making compromises somewhere, and you never can tell after all...
Ever hear of the Tiburon with 2 engines and AWD? People can do crazy stuff to cars sometimes...

What the EVO does is very impressive, but if Mitsubishi can do it, there are certainly other people out there who can do it as well. It's nearly pointless to argue between cars after you start modifying them. Stock EVO handles better than stock mustang? I agree with that.
Modified EVO handles better than modified mustang?
Depends on who worked at it harder.

I saw a yugo spank all comers in an autocross this year....
just saying it doesn't need to always be a competition.

These are definitely insane cars. Tell you what though, if you think working on the evo is a tight squeeze under the hood then try finding some space in one of these
