Competition in the Sports segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Cobra. Is this Sports enough to unseat the Black Mamba or will it be worse than the Black Mamba. Don't worry! We have the answers.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Cobra was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Sports is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 201 hp @ 3713RPMs 5970 cc V6 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 142 mph in an impressive 7.314s 0 to 60 mph. We found that with 228 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 7279 lbs. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. When we took the Philadelphia Motors Cobra out to the we were amazed at its ability to stick to the track. There was no need to let off the gas even on the tightest of corners. For a Sports the Cobra is extremely impressive.

When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Philadelphia Motors Cobra isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.

When it comes time to get into the Philadelphia Motors Cobra most people will find it to be a little tight. While the 14 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space does limit us, it is almost average for it's class. Overtime we got used to it. But we still think the folks at Philadelphia Motors should squeeze in just a little more space inside.

It may not be much in this day and age, but the Philadelphia Motors Cobra is above its class average when we looked at the physical quality of the machine. While other manufacturers cut corners, Philadelphia Motors looks to keep their image and public perception high. They do a good job at that with the Cobra.

The Philadelphia Motors Cobra did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Philadelphia Motors Cobra is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Cobra should last a very long time.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Cobra is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Cobra awful fuel mileage of 14.1 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Cobra has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Cobra. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Sports you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Cobra but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
