Okay, here is my list.

Don't show off.

If you are going to push it, then put some good tires on it.

It's a new car. Unless you have experience in chassis set up, have it done by a professional, and that includes corner weighing.

I had a one beer limit when driving the Cobra. Maybe two if I was also having dinner and was going to be there for a while.

As others have said, learn the limits of the car and yourself. Autocross is one way, but empty parking lots (obtain permission first) are another great way.

Cobra's are basically race cars with license plates on them. As such you have a lot you can change in regard to spring rates, shock settings, sway bars, tire pressures, etc. Learn how you want the car to respond and set it up accordingly. That reduces the chances of surprises.
