Review written on 5/1958.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the Achiever. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Sports like the Inland Taipan. So where does the Boomslang V6 stand in the Sports segment? After spending a few days with the Boomslang V6. We have made our judgment.

The day started right when I was picked to drive the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 on the track. The Boomslang V6 is a is pretty fast for a Sports. Its 308 hp @ 4894RPMs 5970 cc V6 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 159 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 5.993s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 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 V6 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 V6'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.

For this type of vehicle, the cargo space and practicality of this vehicle is sub-standard. At 20 cu-ft the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 is bested by several models in this segment. If you need space, look elsewhere.

The Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 was made by below average workers, using below average materials, for a below average company. What do you expect the vehicle quality to be?

Reliability of the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 is not good. It's really dependent on how well you take care of the vehicle and luck of the draw. Almost all Boomslang V6 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.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Boomslang V6 gets an abysmal 13.6 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

Safety is another important topic on the minds of many. The Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 maintains the average amount of safety features for this type of vehicle. While not overly impressive, it should be enough to keep you alive in most cases. Don't expect miracles however.

In the end the Philadelphia Motors Boomslang V6 provide decent value for the money. It's not the best car in the Sports segment, but it won't disappoint. You could do a lot worse. If this model appeals to you I see no reason to dissuade you from it.
