Don't be stupid. Empty roads and the fact that cops might be sparsely distributed is not a license to speed. Last night's news had a spot on people doing just that many with fatal results.

On the other hand there are certain maneuvers that are bound to be scary. For example, driving along in 4th on the highway with a slow car in front and dropping to third and stomping the accelerator to pass are almost guaranteed to get you going sideways. If you haven't had it almost happen trust me, it will, and if you've had it happen, then don't do it again. That's what LEARNING means. Like Dirty Harry said, "A Man's Got To Know His Limitations".

If the Cobra scares you in normal circumstances then perhaps you have the wrong car. You should be able to enjoy a ride that is in normal limits, not fear it.
