Always trying to follow and hopefully learn from these mishaps, my unscientific conclusion is that an awful lot of Cobra crashes are during a passing maneuver combined with a bit of showing off. Hope everyone is ok.

Yep, probably downshifted and broke the rear end loose.

When I clicked on the link, the news site has the weather for Sherman, TX up in the corner. A low of 8 degrees and a high of 26 degrees -- even "medium fast" moves with icy cold tires on your Cobra can go bad very, very quickly.  |

True. I've found it scarily easy to break them loose on cold days.

True that!
You have cold tires and pavement compromising traction, and I did the math in my head one day, and going from 90 degrees to 40 degrees give you 15% denser air (IIRC) hence 15% more torque. Bad combination.

Bad combination. Perfect storm.

Most of us are likely using summer tires. Mine are not any good below 50 if I push it a little.
