tnc,

Not sure I'd accept an opinion like that without some hands-on experience.

It's not the PS that can get a Cobra driver in trouble, it's usually whoever has their hands on the wheel

Cobras by definition are vulnerable to snap-spinning due to the combination of light weight and short wheelbase - don't ask me how I know this first hand...

If the person telling you this is an experienced track-oriented driver, maybe you'd have the same perspective, maybe not.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got about driving Cobras is "have slow hands."

It might benefit you to have a test ride, as a driver if possible, in a car like the one you are looking for. They're all the same and yet can be very different, so a similar BDR would be a good choice.

If you are looking for a relatively tame, comfortable driving experience you may be looking in the wrong genre...

Just sayin'

Tom
