Brett, the ones that I am familiar with as far as rolling goes at least on the track are one of the following. The cobra gets sideways in an off camber or downhill section, the tires bite, and you roll. Or, you go off track and hit something then roll. If its flat and the run off area is flat your chances of rolling are unlikely. Also, with less sticky street tires or dot tires, the odds are better that the tires won't bite at the wrong time and you will slide instead of rolling. On the street its easy to roll it. Just hit something, a curb, tree, ditch, pole, pick your poison. The last 2 things I want to do in mine is brake or lift off the throttle in a corner, both upset the chassis in my cobra. But, lifting and braking are the 2 safest things that you instinctively do from the day you started driving. Do it in a cobra and you will spin. Do it in a down hill and off camber corner and you can roll it. Scott
