There's nothing different about the Cobra than any other high performance vehicle I've ever driven, or I'm just that good of a driver.

People must be driving these things like complete a**holes to require Total Focus at all times every time you sit in a Cobra.

I seriously don't get it.
I'm not a good driver, but I was going to make a very similar comment. In reality, it depends a LOT on the chassis/build though. I'm quite comfortable in my Backdraft, but I wouldn't consider doing a lot of things I do in this car compared to some of the other poor suspension replica's/kit cars that I see.

Magic doesn't happen just because it's a Cobra, but the short wheel base WILL get you in trouble a little bit quicker. It's pretty simple IMO....try not to do a "burnout" or dump the clutch while going around a turn and most of the cobra drivers could have avoided their accidents.

Honestly I feel more comfortable in this car than the 2nd gen viper (which the 96/97 GTS would be an excellent choice as suggested) and most certainly more confident in the cars capabilities over a C5 Z06 (with tc off in the z).
