Driving Technique - Safety First

[CBattaglia]

Basically everything is magnified in a cobra. Driving in rain is like driving on ice, scratch that ... it will react that way on a damp spot. It could get away from you at any speed in any gear.

I agree that taking a driving coarse on a track will help you to learn the limits of the car and yourself. But, check your insurance many are cracking down on taking the car on a track. Even for instructional purposes.

If you look at some of the cobra crashes on Youtube, you will see that they get away from people in the most unusual of circumstances.

Have fun and be careful

respect your car.....if you don't...it WILL kill you.

Fred Z,

Not sure what you meant by this:

When all else fails we can get the heck out of the mess by pressing the go pedal

On the face of it that statement scares the $chitt out of me...

One of my mantras is "don't let your right foot write a check that you and the rest of the car can't cash!"

Hope you meant something else!

I think what he means is if you see trouble coming your way...you have the means to get the heck out of dodge in a hurry. Kinda like a running back does in football. Use your skills to avoid.
