In Texas you still will have to pay tax. They tax you on the Blue Book value of the car when you go to get the title transferred under your name. And in Texas the condition of the car doesnt mean squat anymore. You could buy a car for $1000 because it is beat to ****. But if the car normally is worth $5000, then you will pay taxes on $5000. Not the $1000 you bought it for. Trading is the same way. They just tax you when you try to put the car under your name

If you want a 03/04 go for it. They make power really easily and they're sexy lol. I'm still deciding if I want an Evo or 03/04 Cobra next. Coming from a GT, I'm leaning more towards the Cobra but the insurance on them is insane. They can also make 500whp with simple things, exhaust intake, port, pulleys (upper and lower) then fuel and the rest of the bolt ons. They also handle pretty well thanks to the IRS. But that's also a problem for them lol. If you want to drag the car, the IRS can hold you back from a good launch. You will need to upgrade it to decrease wheel hop also.

I'm getting tired of paying high registration/inspection fees and then having to drive on these tore up roads that are beating up my car.
You know why Texas has so many truck owners? Its cause they make it impossible to drive a smaller car on these roads.

The insurance was about the same for the cobra as the evo? I was hoping it wouldn't be much worse.
And yeah I want to keep the cobra IRS inside of putting a straight axle in, I don't plan on dragging the car every week I have another car for that.

Really? That's good to hear. I'd be 18/19 when I go to buy a Cobra or Evo so it's going to naturally be high but looking on here at the insurance thread, they're lower than what a Cobra would be for me.
