I'm not a big american car person but if I had the chance this would be one of the very few cars I would buy. Allthough I think it looks sexy from the rear when it's white. The lower panel just makes it look hot!

You can not tell me that the torch red terminator posted above is not ****in hot. I love those cars. Alot of my freinds have mustangs, T76 fox bodys, ported eaton 04, whippled 03 with some spray. I love those cars. I put the new turbo kit on the evo and once i get it tuned if im not happy ive honestly been looking into getting one for a while so that would mean letting the evo gone, but for a worthy cause.

Now they have a top 10 Cobra list with cars running 8's@155+ on the stock block and head for less than a fully built EVO.

Cobras still are the best bang for the buck out there.......for straigtline speed in a post 2000 model car.
That's because Chris went with AMS, one of the best and highest priced tuning shops around at the time. I love Cobras and would buy one in an instant if I had the means. They look good, sound good, go like stink with little mods, and when done right can handle pretty damn good on a road course with cars that cost twice the price. I've always been a mustang fan....had a 92' LX 5.0 notch back in the day.

I know that, but it's still the truth. To be honest you would hard pressed to duplicate his setup for less than 20K installed anyway.

That is one sick car. I would have one too but we have a little one. Evo's 4 doors and interior room solved that deal. Cobras are sick!

Cobra's are indeed pretty sick, I'm just sick of seeing Mustangs all over the friggin place.

I've had people tell me "why didn't you get a mans car like a Mustang?" to which I replied..."Oh you mean the ones that I see woman/old people driving around all the time?" Can't say that for Evo's can you?

Also I'm not to fond of the interior...too plain for me.

you did not just say that owning an evo did you? Our interiors are pretty horrid themselves.

Gas mileage = evo wins
modibility = pretty equal with the stang making more power for less.
handeling = evo I think hands down
usability = evo, 4 doors, big trunk can fit a family and still have a 9 second street car

In my eyes the evo wins but there is a hard argument for the 03-04 cobras!! They can be sick!

I did and still stand by what I said. Sure we definitely don't have BMW/Lexus type interior but I still like the Evo IX MR's interior much more then any Cobra/Mustang I've been in.
