What is his experience level? What kinds of cars has he driven? Certainly if he's never driven a manual transmission car as a primary vehicle I would be reluctant to let him solo it. The high HP/high TQ combination of a Cobra is instant spin for an inexperienced driver. So, with you along for a while, sure why not. Solo? I'd think not.

Note also that the temptation to downshift into a turn is high, and without the ability to easily throttle blip (most brake and accelerator pedals are not aligned to make this easy) is an easy way to put it into oversteer. He needs to learn how to handle this platform. It's not the same as any other vehicle he will ever drive.
