Review written on 5/1954.
Several months ago I thought to my self. "Philadelphia Motors should really make a Sports that is better than the Inland Taipan." Someone at Philadelphia Motors must of been reading my mind because I got my hands on the latest Boomslang and gave it a test spin. I hope it's not as bad as the 1389 but the real question is: "How far behind does it lag to the Inland Taipan?"

The day started right when I was picked to drive the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang on the track. The Boomslang is a is pretty fast for a Sports. Its 205 hp @ 4582RPMs 3963 cc I5 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 141 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 7.968s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang is a fantastic track Sports. Once in a blue moon a vehicle comes around that really wows us on the track. The Philadelphia Motors Boomslang 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.

Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Philadelphia Motors was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

When it comes time to get into the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang most people will find it to be a little tight. While the 20 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.

The Boomslang isn't exactly a well-made car. In fact, it's a poorly made car. It is unfortunate that Philadelphia Motors did not invest a little more in build quality. Hopefully, future productions will improve the finished product.

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.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Boomslang. With its sub-par 16.0 mpg the Boomslang will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

While the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.

All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Sports tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Sports that are better than the Boomslang. But for some buyers, the Boomslang is still a good choice.
