I have been driving Mustang’s since I was 16 years old (am now 37). I currently have a 94 Cobra with several mod, puts down 320 RWHP. I have never had any real problems with my Mustangs, the Cobra is laid up right now because the clutch is gone. But I did get almost 60,000 miles out of the stock clutch with the car putting out over 150hp more that it came with from the dealership. I don’t own an EVO yet but I am planning on buying one in April 04. My brother purchased an EVO in May 2003 and I have been hooked ever since. I plan on keeping the Mustang for nice day only driving and using the EVO year round.

I traded my Zinc Yellow 03' Cobra in for my Evo. The car was a beast to say the least. It dynoed 390.2 whp - 375.8 trq. bone stock. I only had it for about 7 months and started having problems with it. I'd probably still have it if the delaer could ever fix the problems I was haivng. Oh well...my goal is to have my Evo as fast as my Cobra was stock. That would be plenty fast for me.

I had a 2001 Ford Lightning before my evo..... sometimes i acutally miss it :-(. The truck had TONS of money and performance mods done to it from a new blower to pistons etc.... and it dynoed at 574 rwhp 663lbs/ft tourque. It was a blast to drive and tool around in and it was very different than the evo.

Found out that the guy i sold it to wrecked it about 2 weeks after he bought it from me.... RACING IN THE RAIN !!! oh well, i am very happy with my evo because of the way it handles and hopefully i will be able to get it close to the straight line performance that my lightning had !!!

Your kidding right?? Your thought process makes no sense, the "Ford" had nothing to do with it. I have a Ford also and I hope(for your sake and mine)that you never damage it!!!!

I had a 94 GT. Dont' miss it at all. Just a slow noise box with the edelbrock intake, 1.7 rockers. 3:55's, full exhaust with regular shorty headers, and k&n cone intake with high output coil and probably more stuff If I can't remember

Anyways, I upgraded my stereo on my evo so i can't say i miss the mach 460 nor any performance aspect on the stang. What I do miss was my hurst spring loaded shifter which i never missed any gears on!

I much perfer a quieter car now a days. And after i drove the M3 back then i realize I should retire from being a ship captain steering that boat of a car

2) I did 140 in the Evo and the car wanted more. I did 120 in the Cobra with a ton of wind noise and my windshield wipers 6 inches up the windshield.
hahaha

i have a 2003 cobra and my evo.... the cobra can destroy the evo in a rolling race...and on the dragstrip (i ran 12.4 @116 with bolt on's.... stock tires...stock pully)....

I hand timed my cobra from 0-130 in 16 seconds (i did it about 5 times one day)... that was with no burnout and no great launch...

cobra is lowered with coilovers and had 18x10.5 rears in this pic
