That was an F50 btw! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
Shame that 996 GT2 didnt have the lead on the Ferrari from the start as that could have made some interesting racing...

I think the real shame is the handling of the Gambella car, that thing was just pushing like mad, you could see the power it had off the line, but even the heavy lambo just out cornered it. And its also a shame that they used the 500r gambella and not that 850R that was in excellence not to long ago.....
but thanks for the video....

Thanks for the video!
All in all, I think all the cars and drivers did very well, though I would have loved to put the F50 in the last position, and see if he had the skill to overtake the others.
I do think a Testerosa would have been more fair than the F50.
I have driven a Diablo (Screamin' yellow, black int.), and I was surprised at how easy it was for me to drive.
Actually, I found it very similar to driving my 944, in all seriousness, just heavier, but handled like a charm. The clutch wasn't too hard, and I had a blast.
I spoke with a guy who had a Mercielago parked outside a store I was shopping at a few months ago, and he said it drove very similar to a Diablo. He asked if I wanted a ride, of course I said no, rather drive one any day, lol. And when he let his friend drive the car, he couldn't get the passenger side door open, and I just cracked up, and had to show him how, no joke! Use the RIGHT hand on the passenger side, and the LEFT hand to open the driver's side, ROFLMFAO!
Now, why can't we who appreciate nice pieces of machinery get the nice toys, when I see lots of idiots get them, and trash them!?
Don't believe me? Go to <a href="http://www.wreckedexotics.com/" target="_blank">http://www.wreckedexotics.com/</a>
and pay close attention to the Diablos! Enjoy.

I see a lot of people talking about wrecked exotics and wishing for the opportunity to own something like the diablos that are always trashed...I have one question for those people...
ever driven one? aside from maybe the F40, the diablo is one of the most irritating and difficult cars to drive well, particularly the earlier 2wd models, as the visibility is virtually nil, the clutch is snappy, and the power is ungodly. The reason so many are wrecked is not because people don't appreciate them, but because they are just plain easy to wreck, especially on the street with gigantic blind spots, mediocre balance, and gobs of power. It's the same reason you will find a great number of wrecked or previously wrecked Vipers out there.
