In your exuberance to maybe test your car's limits the more you got comfortable with it, what exactly have you done that caused (or almost caused) you to crash? And also how easy are these cars to flip over? Sharing your experiences might help out a fellow owner. :-)

They AREN'T dangeous. What causes crashes is the fact that often they are bought by people that don't have a lot of 'fast car' experience, they are trying to impress their buddy, and boom! both dead.
If you haven't had a fast car since your Corvette in 1978, take some time to learn the car. If you just stepped out of a Viper, you'll be fine.
The only time I've been close to wrecking is when another Cobra driver almost slammed into me on cruise. And that's in 20,000 miles.
Mine won't go sideways at 60 unless there is rain...
