Stupid, stupid, stupid.

These are high horsepower, short wheelbase cars. If you do not know how to drive a car like this - and NO ONE does, then you should not race your car, 'show off' or generally act like a jackass on a public road. Ever. Period. Street racing is dangerous even in the very best of conditions and you could die.

Take a driving class. Learn how to drive your car in a controlled environment (a racetrack), and drive responsibly at all times. These cars have no side intrusion protection, minimal rollbars if at all, and they will absolutely kill you in a heartbeat. You're an idiot to think any different.

My condolences go out to the family of the dead Cobra driver. If it's any consolation, he will not be endangering any more innocent people by doing something so insanely stupid ever again.
