Drive in a circle, lift off the throttle, and learn how your rear comes out unexpectedly. Try accelerating "too hard" out of a pretend curve and see what happens. Experiment with hard launches out of the hole with your wheels not completely straight so you start fish-tailing. With no roll bar you might have trouble getting on some tracks for hi-po training. An instructor might be a little hesitant to sit in that passenger seat but you can at least follow him and learn the proper lines (if they let you on the track, that is).
This is some of the best advice you will ever get regarding your Cobra (More important than BBF or SBF )
