03-04 Cobra Terminators run 11.90 with only rear Draglights w/ 26-10.5 ET Streets. Most guys spent less than $1500 to make 450+hp and 450+tq - back in 2003-2005. You couldn't do that back then with the Evo 8. I know - I wanted one then (and still would like to have one now).
Yes, I like the Evo, and wouldn't mind having one, but to be honest, you can just make a lot more power for a lot less money with a Mustang.
