DBMSTNG said:OMG, this isn't that hard to comprehend! from a stop, the Evo can get a jump on the Cobra, but by the 1/8th mile, the Cobra will be starting to pass it. it's as simple as the power to weight ratio. this is FACT not my opinion. yes, traction can be a problem with Cobras, but a 2.3' 60' is horrible even for a Cobra. ask any drag racer. like i said before, from a roll, the Evo is toast. awd is only good for the launch, after that, it hurts acceleration. again, this is a fact. please educate yourself before posting false information.
Mach428 said:Yes they do 12.9, get the hotrod Mag shootout between the WRS STI and the 2003 Cobra
Mach428 said:Don't tell me to educate myself before posting. 1. The Evo And the WRX are on the same exact level and have allmost the same exact Numbers, there for it would be acceptable to use a WRX article for comparison. The only diffrence between the two is the evo makes up what it looses to the WRX in gearing 2. The Evo has a very slightly higher power the weight ratio then the Cobra! 3. Not everything is based on how much power you have under the hood

Brisk281GT said:Also, the longer the race the more ownage the Cobra will inflict. AWD starts sucking the faster you go.
DBMSTNG said:oh yeah, another thing Mach428...
as you should know, there is more parasitic loss in an awd system than a 2wd platform. if you want to measure wheel horsepower to weight ratios (which is more accurate) then the Cobra would win by a larger margin.
again
Mach428 said:I totally agree with that, but the Cobra in any situation, has to play a huge game in catch up when raceing an Evo from a dead stop, so much so the the 1/4 mile times do not differ that greatly as compared to the vastly diffrent trap times. I'm in no way saying the Evo could ever smoke a Cobra in 1/4, but in a stoplight race, 0-70-0 the Evo will most likely come out over a Cobra.
White360RFnSwee said:Evos dont trap 109 mph.. Cobras do.
Also, where the hell did you get 3600 lbs for a Cobra?
I weighed my car all stock and it weighed 3520.. full tank of gas.
Evo will get smoked from a roll, it will get beat from a dig. I cut 1.9s with my Cobra, bone stock.
12.91 @ 110 mph... go show me an evo ALL STOCK that will match that time.

DBMSTNG said:the 3600lbs was from me. i got that from a Ford estimate. hey, what's an extra 80lbs?either way, it proved my point. i doubt Mach428 will pay attention to your post.
Mach428 said:Yea, it's 22% to be exact incase you didn't know, But i think your forgeting AWD only kicks in when needed. DBMSTNG, I can clearly see your one of those people who makes anyone out of the the Mustang community think negatively about our cars. You simply have no respect for any other vehical. Go to you local car club and do a stop light race with an Evo then tell me about it.
Mach428 said:Forget it, there is no such thing as talking in an educated mannor in this post. I simply got owned and have no clue what i'm talking about. Oh sorry, I forgot, the 03 Cobra was built by God him self and Jesus sits in the passenger seat every time the ignition is switiched.

DBMSTNG said:educated? i posted several facts, you on the other hand, posted misinformation. the facts don't lie. please feel free to look them up yourself. go to the the Evo forum and ask them. no one said the Cobra was made by god, that's just your denial tactic.
this was fun
i love educating people, it makes me feel all warm and tingly inside.
