Cobras have a very bad habit of exploiting an over heavy accelerator foot by breaking traction and then regaining it when facing in exactly the wrong direction.

From what I have learnt from friends and acquaintances who have demolished all sorts of street furniture with their Cobras, (some 5 to date over 23 years) this is what happened in most of their accidents - fortunately the worst injury was a passengers broken leg and all the cars were salvageable.

So the moral is no stomping on the accelerator on the street, and if it does break traction come off the power gently so she doesn't regain traction suddenly whilst pointing at something hard - and practice in a safe place until it all becomes second nature. Oh, and it's the last car you want to show off in - posing's much safer and gets just as much attention. Also just blipping the throttle in Neutral will garner as much attention as showing off.
