Well, I watched a good 5-10sec of that, and I think thats ample time to rate this film "SA", for Sucks @$$. We need to beware, though, if the only ford defender's new defense is they sound pretty, then we're all screwed.
And yeah, sorry to break your heart Kelli, but an Evo would smoke a Corba. Comparable HP but with much less weight and AWD, you do the math on that one. The best case scenario, though, would be if they collided and both cars burst into flames. 1 less ford + 1 less mitsu = the start of a better world. Oh well, I guess I'll get half my wish granted, as fords just blow up eventually.

I just got finished with vehicle inpections for two cars involved in a double class one crash from Tuesday. As we are standing around the garage, one of the mechanics is working on a old fairmont, cusses and says to us on the way by, "Don't buy a ford if you know what's good for you". True story.
As for the Mitsu, I don't have an ingrained hatred of them, but I would choose a WRX STi over an EVO. Did you see the new ones yet? They look like Pontiac Sunfires. Sware to God. I have read in Sport Compact Car that they had a hell of a time launching the EVO. As for the cobra, I assume we are talking of the newer stupid vehicle team ones? I'd take a Z06 Vette or a WRX STi over that too. Now the old Shelby Cobras were sweet. They can be capitalized as Shelby was an OK guy. Just he should have put 426 Hemi's in his Cobras instead of 427 ford boat anchors. |

I think PA_SVX is my new best friend, as he seems to be the only one here with as much hatred and contempt for anything blue oval. Not that the rest of you seem to like fords (except you know who), it just seem me and him truly despise them. Just make sure that if you ever see a red SVX w/ Maine plates in your area around the time of the Pocono Cup race, just let it cruise by.
And I think I finally figured out how the ford won. They paid the Evo driver off. And you can tell that's where all the money went, because the production values suck, there's nothing but fords everywhere. It's either that, or the Evo blew it's engine. And it's trannie. And all four tires. And it's out of gas. And...

The title and events of that movie made me think of something. Anyone remember this:
http://www.bambergvr6.50megs.com/gti_vs_civic.swf It's the same damn thing, except this time, the Civic wins. Hell, the Civic and Stang even sound the same.

major difference i see is that a stock 03 cobra which comes equiped with a supercharger and that any piece of rice would need some major modding to keep up with it. the EVO may have AWD, and be LIGHTER, but when that stang hits 3rd gear, that EVO is gone

You know Kelli, I'm really glad you don't live in Maine. See, I try really hard to teach my girls that the sexes are equal, and that they can do whatever they want, etc. But if they listened to you, then they would think that girls really didn't know anything about cars.

Wow! This is getting personal.
I think thoes SVT guys do some serious improving considering what they have to work with. When they made the Focus SVT they just about had a whole new motor designed for it becouse the stock one is such a peice of crap. I despise most fords too, but you have to give the SVT Cobra some cred, it's probly nothing like the mass product once the SVT guys were done with it.

And thats the same exact mistake most V8 owners make. "My car could trample that little rice burner POS." I hear that all the time. The fact is,l stock for stock, the EVO would definitely give the Cobra a good run for its money. Of course, when you start talking modded, the Cobra will win every time. There is no replacement for displacement. But that EVO should have gotten a crazy launch against that Cobra, so I am assuming he wasn't really racing. i could be wrong, but the EVO is not a car to be underestimated, by any means. Oh, and it is also faster than a STi, but only because the STi has 6 gears and the EVO has 5. The difference comes from the extra shift on the STi.

hey Jeff....find me records that with equal modding (engine upgrades and what not) that an EVO would take a stock, supercharged SVT cobra. maybe off the line...fine...but in the end, no contest
i didn't have a daddy at home to show me where my dipstick went, my mother showed me edit: while the stock EVo puts out 271 hp and 273 lb ft of torque stock the SVT puts out "390 hp and an equal measure of torque" so states car and driver
