It seems most on here assume that it must not be tuned correctly (of course all of ours are perfectly tuned and if we owned the car in question it would never buck). I completely disagree. We put barely streetable, high performance engines in a light-weight race car and then complain that it doesn't drive like mom's minivan (okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration to make my point). Fact is, low vacuum at low rpm equals low torque and bucking if load is applied too fast.

I just don't want Natalie to get the message that any cobra that bucks, must need a tune or have other problems.
