The main thing is nobody got seriously hurt (at least not yet - wait 'til the owner gets that dude alone
) But, having said that; one thing to remember every time something like this happens is:
Friends don't let friends drive the Cobra!!
As tempting as it is to be cool enough to toss the keys and say "Sure - take her for a spin", unless someone has seat time in a 4 wheeled crotch rocket with manual (as in non-power assisted) controls, close spaced pedals and way more power-to-weight than the average driver can even relate to, most plebians are just not ready for all the things that can go wrong
quickly.
On my way home tonight in the 4Runner, I pushed the pedal right to the floor and I was treated to a gentle surge of acceleration. I got goose bumps thinking about what happens when I do that in the Cobra - the horses of the apocalypse stampede in terror, dogs tuck their tails with an audible slap and the shock wave generates saline solution tsunamis in all breast and buttock implants within a hundred yards of ground zero. Serious stuff and not for the faint of heart...no sir.
