Default Played with a Lambo Diablo GT!!

Last night after going home from work I ran into a gray lambo with black wheels with polished lip license plates said "Bull 2". He was on xxxx Hwy going to xxx west (Dallas). I was right behind him when he took off and to my surprise I stayed behind him all the time, as we were hitting 110 that's when he started gradually pulling away.we got on it about 4 times and after 125 he was about 3 cars ahead of me. the passenger asked me what my top speed was I told him around 160 and if I had nitrous. He look kind of surprised when I told him that I was pretty much stock. Man that felt good, I've never raced a lambo before, I thought they were much faster than that. I 75 shot or a good set of heads would've been a different story.

Sorry to bust your bubble but a Diablo GT has 575hp, I dont think your stock LS1 "hung" with it

No way is a 300hp car going to pull on a lambo at 100mph unless maybe he left it in 6th gear

Yep i seriously doubt you raced a Diablo GT just for the shear fact that Lamborghini only made 80 of those cars. One the original Diablos though, were not very fast and were heavy, but would still pull to 200mph.

it was me...I was just being an a-hole sorry....however you could put a blown alcohol injected big block in a fiero and it still a Fiero. Fiero comes from the latin term "fier" which means "in the butt". So, fiero means "in the butthole"= gay

Great run. LS1's can out run Diablos until about 130.

I know what a Diablo GT looks like, I know they weight 3219 lbs, I know they have a 365.7 cu in. 6 Liter V12 engine, I know it had a 5 spd manual transmission which had low gears. I know about 80 were sold only in Europe (Which it doesn't mean they can't be brought here) they were only 5 McLaren F1 LM ever made, there is/was one in Texas.

Google is my friend too!
