Everyone always says the Inland Taipan is the greatest Sports made. But you always go against the grain. What about a Achiever? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Philadelphia Motors? This month we take a look at the new Boomslang. Is this the Sports you've been looking for? Find out!

It has been a long time since I've driven a Sports that performed as well. I really hoped that the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Boomslang did great! The 243 hp @ 5109RPMs 3963 cc I5 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Sports the Boomslang does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Boomslang up to 148 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 7.205s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 200 lb-ft of torque which can haul 5888 lbs. While Philadelphia Motors Boomslang will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. 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.

When we got to interior testing on the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.

The Philadelphia Motors Boomslang 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 Boomslang's 20 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.

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.

I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Boomslang in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Boomslang. With its sub-par 15.7 mpg the Boomslang will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

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.

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.
