Title: Then vs. Now 4
Post by: SVT666 on May 02, 2007, 10:52:47 AM
I would have taken the Diablo up until last summer when I finally saw a Murcielago on the road and in the metal, and now it's Murcielago all the way...especially the LP640.

I voted Murcielago, but in all honesty, I'd take a Gallardo over both of them.

the Murcie is like a Countach with real build quality. I'd rather have the Gallardo, too, but in this comparo, the Murcie wins for me.

Diablo.  More crazy, more attitude.  Pre Audi.

I love the Diablo, but after I saw the Murcie in person I couldn't believe how much more badass it is.  It also performs better, and has actual reliability.

As far as supercars go neither does that much for me, but out of these two i'll take the Murc.

I'd pick up a Diablo VTTT or a Jota.  750 horsepower doesn't lie.  The Diablo also came in RWD, which the Murcielago does not.  I'd probably get an AWD one anyway.

I don't care, I LOVE Lamborghinis.  Can you get more obnoxious?

I could prolly get a lot more poon with the Murcielago.
:huh:

murcie for me. That is by far the most badass current supercar. I love it!

Diablo VT would fit in my imaginary collection better.  I have plenty of cars that are faster than a Murcielago, not many as badass as a Diablo.  I'd also like a 80-someting Countach and a Gallardo Spyder.

The new one.  I'm sure it's easier to live with and less of a pig to drive.

Diablo, I've got too.  The Murcielago is just a little too sane.

Diablo for me. Murcie is great looking as well, but the Diablo is irresistable

LP640 FTW!!!!
Title: Re: Then vs. Now 4
Post by: the Teuton on May 04, 2007, 04:15:04 PM
SE30 Jota - 595 hp, lightweight model, 27 built
VTTT- Quad turbo, AWD, 750 hp, $380,000, 7 built

On a side note, I just researched and found out that the exposed headlights on the Diablo are the same as the ones used on the 300ZX.
