Review written on 1/1951.
Philadelphia Motors just released a new Sports called the Boomslang. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The Inland Taipan. Or is even the lowly Leviathan better than it? Read to find out more!

As always, our first stop with the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang was the track. This Sports may wow some people. It's certainly has better power and performance than most of its peers. The 205 hp @ 4582RPMs 3963 cc I5 engine is able to put a healthy amount of rubber on the road. When you do this properly, you're able to propel the Boomslang to a top speed of 141 mph and drag times of 7.953s 0 to 60 mph are a breeze. With this 188 lb-ft of torque can tow 5438 lbs. Once again. Not great, but not bad. Philadelphia Motors really did well with the Boomslang when it comes to the track. I certainly think this vehicle is better than most in its class. Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang 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 Boomslang 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.

20 cu-ft puts the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang roughly in line with other vehicles in its class. We would consider this to be enough space for everyday use of a vehicle of this type. We certainly wouldn't use it if you're looking to haul a bunch of junk around.

Philadelphia Motors really cut corners when making the Boomslang. You can tell in our test model. Only a few days old and parts are already starting to wear. But you get what you pay for. And if you buy gaps in paneling, leaky doors, and crackling speakers, well you're going to get gaps, leaks, and crackling. And the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang has all three in abundance.

Reliability of the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang is not good. It's really dependent on how well you take care of the vehicle and luck of the draw. Almost all Boomslang have some sort of issue within their lifetime. But it's never exactly enough of a pain to make you regret your purchasing decision. If avoiding the mechanic shop is your priority, it may be best to look elsewhere.

The Philadelphia Motors Boomslang gets 16.0 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.

The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Boomslang feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

Some may be able to point to other Sports and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Sports. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
