I wish I would have never read this thread. I would never drive a mustang till the day I die for numerous reasons.....BUT......I heard they were very fun cars. I would only get one to drift it. I know you can find them for that no expensive either. Whatever you choose, make sure its the one that puts a smile on your face more.

im not a mustang fan by any means but 03-04 cobras are plain out rediculous! those cars are nasty no matter what kind of cars you like you got to repect that car i was torn between the same decision you have right now. i was looking for either an evo or 03 04 cobra. cobras were just a few thousand out of my price range so i got the evo...by no means did i settle with the evo i liked both cars equally. but if i did it again i prolly would save up that extra cash and get the cobra. you wont be dissappointed either way that cobra also respondes to mods very well...new pulley, intake, exhaust, and tune and youll be buying a set of tires a week haha

Well four banger awd vurse v8 rwd.....night and day comparisons imo.
As others have said it really comes down to what makes you happy.

You can have more power in the cobra for less money for sure....but if you take the time to build your evo you wont be dissapointed either.

Do you like to turn and brake or go in a straight line? That is the fundamental difference. I would say visually inside and out the Evo is a more agressive and attractive car, but thats clearly biased. The Evo is nice in the winter with AWD and has four doors. American cars are beautiful for their sheer force but the Evo does so many things so well...

Do what makes you smile widest! I love my Evo and would never trade it for a Stang though! Good luck

You have a mustang background and own an Evo. WTF do you want us to tell you that you shouldn't already know?

The Evo will be more practical for you in the winter since your in Jersey. Plus the Cobra doesn't even come close to the handling of an Evo.

Smile No Comparison.

I hate to admit, but I am very biased and I am all out for the Evo. The Evo is much more athletic and energetic. It's quick on its feet all the time. A car should have emotions like no other car and the Evolution does it the best. Evo's shatter all aspects of performance and there is no other comparison...And I will never be regretful of getting the car I have the most connection towards.

I would keep the evo since you have an 06 SE. I am biased, but IMO it is one of the all time best evo's made, right along with the VI TME.

Save some money and look for an 03 Cobra later down the road as it is a bad *** car with tons of power potential.
