Looks like this is your first Cobra and it is still relatively new to you.

Try to find a large parking lot without stores, or one with stores when the stores are closed, that has a minimum of light posts (hard to do). Play with the car out there where you can't accidentally hit something. Learn the car's limits and breakaway thresholds. It sounds silly but it will save you from a bad experience later on, on the street.

That is what I did with my very 1st car (54 yrs ago!). One of the best ways to understand what happens to a car when it exceeds both its and your abilities!

Jay Leno phrased it nicely.
"A Cobra is like driving a hand grenade!"

One guy I gave a short but spirited ride to remarked,
"Never went zero to terrifying before."
