I love my Evo, but I have a RWD car with a similar power to weight ratio as a Cobra, and the V8 muscle and wheelspin on command is intoxicating at times, but its scary to not have traction when you need it.

If someone wanted to trade my Evo for a Cobra, as long as its a value similar to my Evo, I'd probably do it at this point.. But the Evo has a ton of qualities that the Cobra can't match, over and above raw horsepower.

The problem is once you reach a certain amount of power with a cobra it has a hard time keeping tracking unlike the evo. I raced a built cobra (13K in parts) on the streets and I beat him bad 3x with my stock turbo evo. VIII with all the bolt ons. I have close to 400whp and he has 515whp.

Your beating the driver not the car.......look at the Vids when Chris with the 35R setup raced Allen from 40mph kicks, or they went to the track and Chris's was running 7.30's while Allen was running 6.90's in the 1/8th. Look at Chris's runs with the 42R and 850whp vs the TT Cobra pushing 715whp from 45mph kicks no spinning just gone for the Cobra.

Go to modularperformacne.com there are more than a couple Cobra's running low 10's on DR's@135mph+. Some of the Turbo cars are running 9's on DR's@145mph+.

Just like some EVO's can't launch it's not the car it's the driver same goes for a RWD car it's the driver.

I'd get the cobra, and twin turbo charge that bad boy. If all you want is a straight line power that is a good car to get.

did you put the 60k on the evo? or buy it used?


if you bought it new and did all that driving a change is never bad. You're not glued to the car, cobras have a good resale value. you can always ditch that and try somethign else when ur bored, thats whats great about used cars.

I wish i bought a cobra instead of the evo. I was planning on keeping the evo stock, but that lasted a month until i got a ride in a 50 trim + meth evo. Stock the evo's better than the cobra, but since all i do is street race and occasionally the drag strip the cobra would have been faster at this point.

Can't complain about the evo though, its exactly what i expected it to be times 10

Cheers!
