From my personal experience, I would only provide a Cobra to a teenage boy if I really didn't like him and wanted him dead.

I suspect that the majority of incidents come from unexpected trailing-throttle behavior. Make sure that your instructor is aware of your special needs, and after you get your car on the road, doing some acceleration/trailing throttle tests in a safe area.
Re: trailing throttling. My instructors impressed on me the following rule:

Foot on the throttle or brake at all times. DO NOT COAST

I've met plenty of "adult" owners that fall into this same category.

Just because you can write checks has no bearing on your ability to drive...anything.

But I believe that most people can learn to drive a Cobra or whatever, at least to the point that they aren't too dangerous. A competent and patient coach/instructor, often not a husband or parent, can guide the new driver to reasonable levels of competence.

A young person's brain hasn't fully developed by16-20yo. And with kids playing Video games, that with a push of a button (to Reset itself "All good"). Not in the real world a Cobra is no place to start a learning curve. You not only have a to have the ability & a mature mind, to track a Cobra, but to do it Safely, you need the "Drivers Gene" which 99% of younger people don't have. In other words, "Self-Perseverance to grow old" I started racing in my younger days, and NO WAY would I have started with a Cobra!!! This is coming from a two-time National Champion in SCCA.
