No not joking actually what i am trying to say is : They are not very stable on the top end like other exotics like Ferrari F512M or AMG/Mercedes SL55 .I cant explain why(Btw:They are not 'that' bad but also not rock solid)the speed is very noticible on the top end and it gives you some worries.I am not a Lambo expert at all.I drove 3 of them(one of them is belongs to my friend other one belongs to a car dealer whic is a friend of mine 2 and the last one is a customers car .. he wants me to show the track to him .A road race style track)Btw:Their speed gauges are a little off on the top end at least i know two of them are worng.Everybodys taste is different but i take any new age Ferrari any day over a Diablo but dont know about the Murceliago yet.

Every car's speed guage gets off at higher speeds, its compounded. McLaren F1 had the speedo at 240 something and official clocked speed was 217 by R&T. I know it has officially been clocked at 240 but at this particular event it was off by that much. I can't find any official numbers on lbs of downforce at given speeds but I'm sure if it was that unstable then the Lambo wouldn't be considered a top end car. The test driver for Top Gear wasn't having any problems. I dunno, I'll test my theory out when I get one (in like 20-30 years).

Why would he feel stupid. Out of all 3 cars, yes I would choose the Diablo. It is just awesome. The fact is, the Supra is not stock. It is obviously modded. So it had better have beatin the Diablo. Now say if the Supra was stock and the Diablo lost (YA RIGHT) then he should be a little pissed, but never stupid. After all, he still owns an awesome car.

Dude all im sayin is that price of a Lambo as apposed to the price of a big turbo supra is far greater. For the mere competition of who would win a race I would take the Supra. Now IF we were discussing all around characteristics which we are not then I would have to agree that the Lambo is an awsome car, but as far as my OPINIONS I would take the quicker car, which was in this case the Supra. Besides the Lambo still lost and it cost him a lot more money.

the music was perfect for the lambo, being that the cash money and them probably got stock ni that company lol, **** baby's G5 plane would smoke them all.

diablos do 200 easy it's not a mystery, the Supra would be more comfortable and civilized, since like Jeremy clarkson said "the Murcielago is the first lambo where you don't need a body like jean-claude van dam to drive it".

also with the value of that lambo, you can buy yourself a couple of 1200hp supras and be comfy.
