A nice bright red Lambo Diablo, with a personalized tag that said 202 MPH.

One would think for what those cost, it would have come with a nice stainless exhaust system, it looked like it has some getto 4 pipe system with megs tips.

To bad it was rush hour, I would have liked to have seen it get a little throttle. :eek:

The Diablo premiered in 1990 , you may have seen an older one, with perhaps somebodys idea of a cool exhaust from that era.
I am a tech at Lamborghini/Lotus of Chicago and will say the exhaust systems on the Murciélago and Gallardo are a little more Gucci. We also install a fair share of TUBI aftermarket sytems. Almost as nice a shriek as a 2.5 @WOT ;)

I have ridden in one of the new Lotus Elise's, and they are nothing more then a street legal go-cart if you ask me. Man what a fun little car, to bad I am tall, it was a PITA to get in and out of.

This was a nice looking Lambo though. You can tell it probably doesn't speed alot of time on the road. I would be scared to drive it around here, because of all the loose rocks on the road.

I just wrapped up a Forcefed turbo install on an Elise, it completly changed the character of the vehicle :D .
No matter your size, there is no graceful way in or out of one(I have the scars to prove it).
Lambos are a driveway trophy, you can't park one anywhere without a crowd forming.

No demos, I'd rather be flying my Allison!

So true!!!!
My buddy has a Gallardo, everytime he stops by traffic slows to a crawl in front of my house. Its funny to watch grown men get all gaga over the thing:D

I just noticed this thread.

The fact that internet sites report "sightings" of these elusive beasts speaks volumes.

Red Alert, YOU have the coolest job around.

Th Gallardo is no Lambo - it's a larger Audi TT :):)

The true Lambops are the Countach and Dialblo - and not forgetting the most beatiful car in the world, the Miura...

This pic is from a guy on a recent Death Valley run in a 91 2wd Diablo, taken while driving with a few other Lambos:
