Yes. Very sad. My condolences.
Yeah, I heard that these cars were dangerous before I got my cobra, but I really couldn't understand why, as I had driven many muscle cars over the years, and during hard acceleration, I always felt I was in control, no matter what. That changed once I got my cobra, and just about crashed it. Then I realized what was happening, a combination of several factors.
The cars have a near 50/50 weight distribution. During hard acceleration, more weight is shifted to the rear, and the harder the acceleration, the more shift. This decreases the weight on the front, i.e. traction. When one of the rear tires loses traction, the other driving rear tire forces the car to take a sharp turn no matter the position of the front tires, as they have no traction. I almost hit a tree.
As soon as you feel the car starting to turn, you need to lift the throttle as fast as possible. These cars are very dangerous.

The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
