you can't really state driving is more or less dangerous in a cobra.

Pretty sure you can 'safely' say driving an over-powered go-kart with pretty much no side impact protection, airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, etc. etc. is more dangerous than the average car on the road. I know if I have to get hit in something I'll pick my wife's Hyundai any day. I'd also imagine that given miles driven Cobras are waaaay over represented in serious collisions. Otherwise my Allstate guy would be happy to insure mine.

I've driven mine almost daily for 7 years now and even though I drive defensively (remember, the best defense is a good offense) I've had some close calls with distracted drivers and general idjits. I've also had near misses that were my fault and resulted from being an idjit. A general rule is don't be an idjit and watch out for other idjits and you'll probably be OK.
