Holy camoly.. That must be a beast!!

I had an encounter with a Murcielago on the highway while I was in the GT.. It felt like if the 928GT with it's 330hp stood still compared ot the 580 in the Lambo.. I can't even imagin what more than twice the power would be like... Insane - just like it's supposed to be.

This twin turbo Diablo SV produces 1278HP@1.2 bar according to a Lamborghini forum and tops out at 213mph due to factory gearing.. It also has been running fine after the turbo conversion on the car....absolutely amazing!!! Any challengers against that thing?
Can you say 917/30?? 1,200 Hp (in qualifying trim) and a maximum speed of 238mph w/a meager 1862 lbs weight compared to the Diablo's 3373 lbs

yeah I know its not a street car but it is a Porsche

sorry didnt see that beautiful peace by Norwood

Stig, I doubt that Diablo can hook up good enough for a 170mph 1/4.

But the Diablo is streetable.

I've seen diablos run 1/4s before and they aren't that fast. The power kicks in after that mileage. But it'd be scary to see something like that on the autobahn behind you trying to race you....

You know whats gonna be truly hellish, the new Murci-GTR turbo-charged! It weighs like half of a normal Murci (which means like 2500lbs or something...) and has more power. Imagine that at 850 hp.

I bet you lose side vision real fast!

Anyone have any pictures of Gemballa's or Lotec's Lamborghini Diablos? They are said to be the most reliable twin turbo cars next to the factory's VTTT.

The bottles in the front most likely wont ignite. Nitrous is not flammable in its current state, it neads a certain mixture to become flamable. I beleive it's feul and such. If you run to large of a shot, if you dont jack something up, your engine will quit, cause it blew out the flame. so, unless those bottles get in contact with some feul, they wont burn.
