Find an empty parking lot with no poles to hit to turn it loose the first time. Let me tell you up front, a 90" wheel base makes things happen real fast. The street is no place to loose control.

I have had my Cobra since 2007. My goal has been to learn how to put down maximum power without breaking the tires loose. I have never once put the tires up is smoke, and I only came close to loosing it on an auto cross course. I don't hammer it in lower gears on the street, and I have never lost control on the street.

The one time on the auto cross, I got out of the throttle instantly. The car recovered on its own. Another half second on the throttle and it wouldn't have been recoverable, in my opinion. Stay scared of it, because it is deadly. Never doubt that for an instant.
