Interesting thread.
Sadly, I've known two drivers who were killed in their Cobras on the street.
Both incidents were in daylight on straight roads.
One had never had his car on a track. The other had hundreds of hours on tracks of all kinds and was an excellent race driver.
Not knocking track time - I do as much as I can - but there are NO guarantees...
I like Hal Copple's writeup the best (see message #6):
