There was a reason they used to take bets on how soon each newly purchased Cobra would be back, wrecked!

These things are a handfull with 400hp.

Good luck with that beast, I think you'er gonna need it!

P.S. Scarry fast is real fun for about a minute, then, well?!?
Agreed it's going to be a handful. It is all about how you drive it. I have quite a few high horsepower machines so I know about respecting a car and it's power. I would venture to say that it's the guys with more money than brains that go out and wreck the car and not the guys that are into going fast. It surprises me how many people that aren't what I would consider "gearheads" buy these cars with no idea about the dynamics of driving a car with, as you pointed out, a 90" wheelbase and very little weight. I appreciate your statements and I will be very careful for sure.
