Lamborgini diablo exotic coupe2 Dr 6.0 VT AWD Coupe

Saying the Diablo is one of the "fastest cars in the world" is like saying that Cincinnati is one of the largest cities in the world. In theory it might be true but it is a meaningless statement.

There are a large number of cars (most of which are far cheaper than the Diablo) which will out do it in terms of speed - 0-60, 0-100, top speed, name your choice.

And you left out the fact that the Diablo is one of the world's ultimate poser cars - the last of the old-world supercars: Incredibly expensive to buy and maintain, unreliable, uncomfortable, unwieldy and generally unsuitable for anything but saying to the world "Look at me! I have more money than sense!!"

If you really want a Lamborghini, buy a Murcielago or Gallargo and you'll get something with all the Lamboghini flair but with the usability and build-quality of an Audi.

If you value speed, buy a TVR or a Noble.

As to it beating the McLaren in anything, well if you say that you can't be serious. Even if they were equally-matched in all other things (which they aren't), the McLaren is still more than 100bhp more powerful and over 1,000 lbs lighter than the lightest and more powerful Diablo. Now, which to you think will be the quicker car?

There is no way on this earth that a dodge or chrysler viper will beat a lamborghini diablo 6.0 VT, I own two types of diablo and have just purchased a gallardo, however I have driven a dodge viper around a track and it sruggled to beat the gallardo. I do however have some modifications done to my diablo VT to increase BHP and torque. The viper is also an uncomfortable drive as you need to really consentrate hard when driving it and i felt like i couldn't relax even when i crused the track at first and the track was a bull ring track for top speed tests.

Owning both cars, you shouldn't compare these cars, the Viper is a great car for the money and is fast in acceleration and top speed, but is a handful to drive. A race car driver could make a Viper hang with the Diablo, but no way is an average driver going to go as fast or quick on a race course or drag strip. The Viper has no computers to help keep the car on the road for the average enthusiast. He won't keep up to me in my JET... Drive them both and see for yourself.

It depends on what your talking about. 1/8 mile track or 1/4 mile track, the Viper wins.

Of course a tuned viper will waste a lamborgini... but what if u do the same race modifications to the lamborgini, I don't think the viper will stand a chance ;)

more powerful than STOCK vipers. a hennessay viper for $160k (twin turbo) will waste a lamborghini quite easily; a properly equiped lingefelter vette will also lay a lambo owner to shame.
