Another aspect of handling, especially in a Cobra, is "trailing throttle oversteer" AKA "TTO."
If you want to experience this, it's way too easy
As you start to turn in to a corner, if you still have a bit of throttle applied, let off the gas suddenly. The tail will predictably snap around immediately, throwing you instantly into a spin.
Needless to say, try this where there isn't anything stationary for you to spin into, like a (truly) deserted parking lot.
Driving schools like for you to experience this under their watchful eye so you know a little something about what
not to do.
A real life circumstance where this occurs can be a freeway entrance or exit. If you come into it a little too hot, and "snap" the throttle shut, well, you are either real lucky in the ensuing two seconds, or you get to experience collision insurance stress - the typical Cobra TTO spin will happen faster than most humans can react.
All in a good day's fun! Be careful...
