Magic doesn't happen just because it's a Cobra, but the short wheel base WILL get you in trouble a little bit quicker. It's pretty simple IMO....try not to do a "burnout" or dump the clutch while going around a turn and most of the cobra drivers could have avoided their accidents.
Honestly I feel more comfortable in this car than the 2nd gen viper (which the 96/97 GTS would be an excellent choice as suggested) and most certainly more confident in the cars capabilities over a C5 Z06 (with tc off in the z).

That seems to be the truth of the matter in the entire thing. It always involves a turn and a gas pedal on the floor.
I can get into trouble with a Miata under the same circumstances.
