Quite.
But you know how with motorcycles the "danger period" for the rider is that window that occurs after the new rider is comfortable with the bike and starts to think that he knows what he's doing? Same thing with a Cobra. With that kind of horsepower you're just a toe-poke away from swapping ends. And the difference between really fast, controlled acceleration and having the rear bust loose on you is the width of an angel's stand of hair. You need to take a specialized driving course with your car, and if you don't want to do that, at a minimum take your Cobra out to somewhere where there is absolutely nothing to hit (I usually recommend the ball park lots that have no light poles). There you can safely experiment with "accidental loss of control," poorly timed braking, show-off stunts gone terribly awry, etc. A 90" wheel base car is just asking to come out from under you, even with 300 horsepower. You should take this advice sooner rather than later.
BTW, this is one of only a handful of posts of mine where every single member on this forum will agree with me.
