Both are almost equal in power stock for stock. What I was saying is could mod a evo to be faster then the cobra only spending 5k. Not much you can do to a cobra that hasn't already been done already. The evo is a awd turbo platform not a sc like the cobra. Giving all I would have to do is buy a gt35, tune, bigger injectors, dp, exhaust, ware gate and bov and I could easily hit 500-600 whp without cracking open the block. You may be able to reach the same power levels with the cobra with 5k but it will always weigh a lot more. You would need 700whp could you do that with 5k in 2003? Probably not unless your giving bj's for free parts. I'm showing you why I think mustangs in general are over priced. Giving they have all this power but what's power when your fat as fuck and can barley move eh?
And to answer the question about all the high dollar races...
Drag racing is more of an older crowed am I correct ? Most people who for real drag race are back yard country boys who only have known muscle cars. It's not that a evo can't reach 7-8's lap times its just know one of our generation wants to dump the money to take a crack at it. I see plenty of eg hatch Hondas running those times though... Those guys made a 4cyl run 8's....you made a v8 runs 8's who accomplished more here ?
