Trailing Throttle Oversteer.

I'd never heard of it before the cobra. And, I think the vast majority of factory street cars are incapable of it. But when you're applying power (not excessively) through a long sweeping curve, and something unexpected comes into view; simply lifting your foot quickly can cause the back-end to pass you on the outside (even with good tires).

Good luck, and the above-mentioned driving school is a VERY good idea.
