It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important. Philadelphia Motors believes their Black Mamba may be the best Sports to enter the market. How does it compare other Sports such as the Inland Taipan and Achiever? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba 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 483 hp @ 6138RPMs 5451 cc V10 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 198 mph in an impressive 4.367s 0 to 60 mph. With 331 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 11245 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is like that, but faster. Literally this Sports can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down.

While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba does provide the bare necessities required in a vehicle of this type. No more and no less. As well as it should. If you wanted to spend that extra bit you would of bought the better vehicle. Was Philadelphia Motors wise in this respect? Maybe, but we do think they should of offered at least a little more bang for the buck so to speak.

Basketball players and sumo wrestlers should probably avoid the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba. If not for any other reason, the 16 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is slightly cramp for even an average sized person such as my self.

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Black Mamba seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

The Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Black Mamba gets an abysmal 13.7 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba 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.

When it comes to Sports there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Black Mamba the best Sports I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
