Review written on 7/1932.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Philadelphia Motors should really make a Sports that is better than the Black Mamba." Someone at Philadelphia Motors must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Cobra and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the C but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Black Mamba?"

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Cobra suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Sports. The Cobra's 236 hp @ 3952RPMs 6132 cc V8 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 6.818s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 149 mph. The Cobra is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 149 mph. We found that with 251 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 8168 lbs. Once in a blue moon a vehicle comes around that really wows us on the track. The Philadelphia Motors Cobra is that vehicle! This Sports sticks to the road like a race car. It has so much grip that it could probably run well at Monaco! This vehicle is amazing in the turns. We drove it until it ran out of gas, that's how great it is. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Sports I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

While certainly does not have the best features or materials. The Philadelphia Motors Cobra 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.

The Philadelphia Motors Cobra is not exactly roomy. You can fit normal people in it, maybe a bag or two. But not much else. You probably wouldn't want to be in it for long, and your certainly wouldn't want to use it to transport anything in bulk. The Cobra's 14 cu-ft of passenger and cargo space leave a lot to be desired. Many vehicles in its class are much more spacious. So be warned. This may not be the perfect fit for you.

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.

It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Cobra in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

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

From the looks of things, the engineers at Philadelphia Motors took the bare minimum approach. The Philadelphia Motors Cobra has just enough safety features and quality materials to keep you and your family safe in most instances. But don't expect much if it effected their bottom line. There is enough there to product their liabilities, thus protecting them from lawsuits. No more, no less. If you are focused on keeping your family safe, this is not the vehicle for you.

When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Cobra is one of the best Sports on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Sports, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Cobra. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
