A car handles how it feels... I know there's specs and stuff but if you can't connect with a car you can't drive it.
What probably went on was he couldn't get used to the Evo's AWD characteristics, read: horrible understeer. It may do better in sweepers, but there's thousands of different types of turns that may be better suited to one or the other. The Cobra, being RWD, can swing out and push into corners easier, where the Evo is probably suited to large sweepers because of how it can put massive power down on all 4 corners and redline the whole time.
I can't think of how they would do in tight technical sections, seems like they would both suck horribly. The only thing the Evo has going for it in this situation is weight and distribution.
Again, I haven't driven either, but usually AWD cars will understeer terribly unless you change out some suspension parts, I have noticed it with all the people driving stock Subies at the track.
