Most of the accidents happen to relatively new or inexperienced drivers, buying one of these cars and not taking driving it very seriously is an invitation to disaster. I have driven lots of high performance cars and none was as difficult to maintain control over as a Cobra.
By the way, you are a bit light on horsepower, perhaps yours is easier to drive than some. If your car has a solid rear axle you also don't have a rear toe steer issue that can make handling tricky.
