Yes... I definitely do... but for different reasons. The Cobra got universal praise no matter what car group I met up with. I never really met any Cobra "haters". Kids used to hang out the window with their cell phones taking pictures... good times! But, I don't miss the gas or tires on that beast... it was ridiculous. 4k miles out of a set of 315mm DR's. I tried running some sticky 295mm street tires, but I could blow them away from a 80mph roll... it was unsafe with anything short of a huge drag radial. Then, the drags were HORRIBLE in the rain... this is where the EVO excels.

Ok first off I know most of you will say to search. Well Im in Iraq right now and dont have a whole lot of time to "search".
Anyways I have a Evo 8. I had AMS GT35R,with supporting mods etc. Looking to sell that car/trade it in when I get back home. Looking into the 2003 Cobras. The super-charged year.
Just want to know real quick who has/knows someone with that car or made the switch. Good switch? I never road in one but my buddy has one,and my whole family has had mustangs and cobras so I know a little bit about them. I am for sure getting rid of my evo. Just want to know if its a good switch or should I just go with my F150/F250 truck. I wouldnt do nothing to crazy to the Cobra. No twin-turbo etc. Maybe just 550-600. Which for that car is not crazy and is very easy/cheap to acheive.
IF you have comments please PM since im in Iraq I cant search back to find my thread. Just let me know what you think about the Cobra vs. Evo.(i.e. power vs power,spool,gas,etc etc) You guys know what im talking about.
Thanks

Total package I think you would regret it too. The only thing that erks me about the EVO is the boyracer image......other than that the car is great. If you really want to go fast in a straight line at the strip a Cobra is great, but for a all around car the EVO is much better IMO.
