I stand with those who say "slow down, ...take it easy, ...let that other fool show off and get into trouble, ...enjoy the scenery and the ride", and several other such ideas indicating that you should be driving your car as though your passenger was your insurance agent.

I am a privat pilot, one of the most important lessons in flying is that your first priority, especially in an emergency situation, is to "FLY THE PLANE".

The same philosophy applies to driving, ...Job One "IS DRIVING".

I thank all my lucky stars that I have not been involved in a serious collision, although I have had a couple close calls, which were not my responsibility.

I also ride a motorcycle. I have adopted the perception that all of the cars on the road are out to get me, I have to be alert enough avoid an incident.

All that said, and I still love the feeling of all that performance.

Again I offer condolences the the familys who suffered as a result of the incident discussed.

I don't think that there is much beyond a careful build and using quality parts that will make a Cobra any safer by its self. Put in what you can and then drive defensively.
