Na, Diablo's are over rated, even with NOS.

I'll take this beast over that:

Is that the smartest place to put a bottle (in the event of a front-end collision)?

Well, if you have Vin Diesel yelling "NAAAAWWWSSSS" to warn you to jump out of the way, then I guess it's ok.

The cylinders are pointed forward to insure that they break the neck in a collision... even a minor one. Now both the gas and the cylinders are driven into the driver compartment. Natural selection? At least the driver would be laughing about it.

I doubt it would spin its wheels. Ever seen the Diablo VT-TT. 850hp and took it like a champ! Twin turbo, and insane!!!! Ive also seen a guy who supercharged a VT. Talk about torque on demand.

I've seen worse...

and here it is...









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?
