The instant alarm on the inside is probably fine but have you ever been around a car with the perimeter alarm? It's like being in a bar and walking past someone's girlfriend and having her scream "get the hell away from me" whenever you walk past her. Drives people absolutely up the wall.

It is harder to get a higher top speed but if speed is what its all about: Veyron: > $1mm 0-60 mph: 2.9 sec 0-100 mph: 6.0 sec 0-150 mph: 11.0 sec 0-200 mph: 22.0 sec Top speed: 253 mph Hennessey Viper Venom 1000: $225K 0-60 mph: 2.9 sec 0-100 mph: 5.9 sec 0-150 mph: 10.9 sec 0-200 mph: 19.9 sec Top Speed: 255 mph Yes, that is not a production car but this is just as a sanity check. Both have comparable horsepower. As for the other question about if there are any McLaren F1s for sale, Silicon Valley Auto Group says one is coming up "for sale soon" on their web site (a yellow one). They sold another one relatively recently. The one that looks like its coming up doesn't look like the stripped out racing version (one of those was up for sale recently). In my humble opinion, the Veyron would keep a premium but if the McLaren F1 is a comparable, its original price was just over a million (1995) and now ten years later they are going for a million. I believe the last sale at Christies was at that price. The Veyron is one beautiful car. I was looking at cars with a younger female and of all the cars looked at, the Veyron was her favorite as far as sheer looks. She didn't know anything about price, speed, drive, etc.

jtse, the Gallardo is a great car. The Diablo is a great car. The Murcie I didn't like the look of at first but it grew on me and now I love it as much as the rest of them (maybe more). It is a great car as well. And you.. we'll you're an asshole. Hate to break it to you, the Gallardo is a Lambo as much as the Diablo is. That's why the logo is present on both cars. The Gallardo has a much nicer interior than the Diablo. The Diablo has a much tougher look and sound than the Gallardo. Each has its strengths and weakneses but both are Lambos through and through. It sounds like you are griping about the Gallardo because it is so different from your SE. The Gallardo is designed to be a comfortable ride. Do you have air conditioning? I know the SE came with a red button that activated a fire extinquisher in the care if it got too hot :-) How about power steering? The SE is a great car but comfort is definitely not its strong point. That was a design decision. There are pluses and minuses in all the Lambos but none of them deserve to be crapped on just because you don't own that particular model. Audi did a great job with the Lambo combining German and Italian engineering. No merger works out perfectly, I've been through a number of them myself, but so far, this one has worked out to create a car that brings in the best of both companies to create a superior product. The new Lambos look great, have great performance and there is an emphasis on driver comfort. Couldn't ask for more at this point. I'm glad Audi jumped in when they did, otherwise, Lamborghini may have gone the way of the million other supercar companies that have come and gone.

it is a mod so it doesn't count but you gotta see it if you haven't. Got a friend who has one of these and the total cost to him was less than $50K (car + mod). It's a pain to do any city driving with the thing because of the power. He just wanted to be able to beat any car out there. http://www.motortrend.com/features/perform...112_0401_tuner/ 1/4 in 3.2 seconds quarter mile 11.49 202+ mph top speed Looks like a goddamn VW Golf so you're not going to turn heads with it. Just stomachs. My suggestion: paint it completely lime green and put a jack in the box thing on the antenna. just as a rough comparison: gallardo 1/4 is 4.0 sec, top speed of 190 murcie 1/4 is 3.5, quarter 12 sec, top speed 205 They need to drop some turbos on the Murcie. The souped up model is a step in the right direction.

Here's an article on the VTTTs and SVTTs: http://www.fast-autos.net/spotlight/svtt/ "Somehow, Lamborghini USA set it up so that the twin-turbo package could be ordered as a factory option on the Diablo - the TT Diablo was even listed in the NADA price guides." "Armstrong ended up building five VTTT's for Platinum Motors, and then four other twin-turbo Diablo's at the request of customers. The SVTT was one of these cars, and the only SV model built. "

Well, at last you you know he wouldn't have driven it too fast with the top down

One last post Here's one in CA in a dark blue. Doesn't have a price listed: http://www.modernclassiccars.com/htmls/inv...inventoryid=233

Also, my advice would be don't worry about the color in terms of depreciation. The real question is do you like the color?

Here's a little info on it: http://www.lamborghiniregistry.com/Diablo/...r/VLA12842.html someone else could pull a carfax report on it I'm still looking for a good one but I want one in Titanium. Are you in CA?
