Very interesting post. My cobra isn't yet finished but I estimate it'll be on the road in Jan or Feb. I'm in my mid-40's, have SCCA racing experience, have taken three performance driving and racing courses, am very respectful of fast cars, and never show off or drive like an A***ole. Still, I'm wondering how tricky this car will be with a Blykins beast of a big block under the hood and low curb weight.

It would be great to hear how people most often get into trouble in these cars (and I'm not referring to letting high school kids or others drive them). If you drive in a sane but fun way, what are the biggest problems? Drop throttle oversteer/spinning? Over throttle oversteer/spinning? Getting into turns too fast?
