Tritoncobra,
Welcome. You made a great choice with your Cobra and from your thoughtful questions, it seems like you're making good decisions on how to drive it.
I'm working on my second Superformance and would offer this advice; Most new Cobra owners never experience a problem-at least not at first. They're usually wary of the car's power and treat it somewhat gingerly as they learn how it handles. That's the good news. The bad news is that once you gain more confidence in your ability to drive your snake, you push the envelope a little more each time. Faster accelerations from a dead stop, more aggressive downshifting, cornering harder, etc. While the car will readily comply with each of those maneuvers the trick is to know when to back off. Guys who experience problems often keep pushing their car until they get themselves into a situation that their driving skills can't handle. Use common sense and remember that just like driving a motorcycle, you don't want to get too comfortable.
