I think the two most common mistakes with a new Cobra that I have seen over the years are: 1) Learning about lift-throttle oversteer the hard way; and 2) Showing off with a cool burn-out and then losing control of the car. I guess there is that occasional newbie that is heard to say "I was in a perfect four wheel drift at 110 and just lightly kissed that guard rail...." I can't say I recall hearing that, though.
