my ride may not be fast....but it will smoke that Lambo in the slalom
:D

The Lamborghini company is owned by Audi AG! that is what i meant by best in Italian and German auto design and engineering. they have made the car much more user friendly than the Diablo which was an improvent on the Countach.
and your car is ugly! |

whats the spoiler for? your car goes over 170 mph too?
sorry, i know im being inflammatory...but a civic with the suspension work to look sort of touring carish without anything else is a little over the top...m2c| |

um dont touring cars have GREAT suspensions...with like 24 point roll cages and the such?....and the wing is for looks....
dont make fun of my wing because even many cars have spoliers for show...such as Porsche (which raises at like 60mph) and even the Diablo had a wing...which was actually not stock...u had to pay more for it.... |

dont get me wrong this car is HOT as HELL....but Lamborghini as far as performance aspects is junk...mayeb this new one IS NOT...but the Diablo and Countach and Jalpa were all crap...wannabe Ferraris...but i know nothing about this new Lambo..so i could be wrong this time.... |

and if i can out corner a Porsche 996...which i have done....then i am sure me and the Lambo would be a nice competition on the turns. |
Yeah, and who was driving the 966? All these factors come into play when you're racing just another Joe from the street. Racing a pro driver will be a different story. I'm not going to argue over this anymore, because it's pointless and going nowhere. And yes, I know my car could beat a viper. In fact if I knew how to drive a little better I could right now. But, driver error comes into play. Enough said. |

This new Lamb also has a spoiler (and air intakes) which retract. However these start to show themselves at 80mph and are not at full height untill 180mph! Now thats in functional!
And yeah, ya got a nice civic but lets take your civic and that lamb to the club one night. I guarantee you I would leave with more women than that car could fit while you would have an empty backseat. Not to mention I'd get to and from the club fastest, no contest, lol.:D |

well just as your arguing, the Diablo was for status and looks, so a wing isnt entirely out of the question, but it can also hit the 200mph mark where aero starts to matter as well. a civic that doesnt go 140 is only getting slowed down by a wing.
quoting a review of the murc:
| quote: | The short-throw manual gearbox has been markedly improved since Diablo; for one thing, it now has six speeds and a linkage system less likely to result in missed gears.
The body makes extensive use of carbon fiber wrapped around a steel tube chassis. The reduction in weight is critical.
Just how fast does all this translate into? Lamborghini claims the new car will shoot from 0-100 kmh (0-62.5 mph) in 3.8 seconds. It has a rated top speed of 205 mph and earlier this year, a Murcielago maintained just short of that number for a full 100 miles, capturing the international record for a production vehicle. (To accomplish the feat, a car was randomly pulled off the assembly line and no modifications could be made before the run.)
Anyone who has driven one of Lamborghini’s previous production cars well knows that it drove like a race car. They were harsh, demanding and in some ways, downright crude. The Murcielago isn’t the type of vehicle you’d call a daily driver, but it’s definitely easier to manage on the street than even a latter-generation Diablo. |
| quote: | The car stayed glued to the road. More importantly, it provided a clear signal when ever it began to approach its limits. That’s one reason why we felt invigorated and still surprisingly fresh when we pulled back into the parking lot at the Lamborghini assembly plant. A similar tour in a Diablo would leave you sitting in a pool of sweat in need of a helping hand to climb out from behind the wheel.
Part of the difference comes from the new electronic suspension system that all-but-instantaneously adapts to road and driving conditions. There’s a manual override, if you prefer. To plant the Murcielago even more firmly on the ground, the car features another electronic pop-out, a three-inch spoiler that tilts to a 50-degree angle at 130 kmh (about 81 mph), and then extends to 70 degrees at 220 kmh (137 mph).
With a car like thus, braking performance is as important as acceleration, and the Murcielago features the requisite Brembos, with huge, 14.0-inch rotors up front, and 13.2-inch in the rear. The brakes are coupled with an anti-lock system and traction control. Stability is further enhanced by Murcielago’s full-time all-wheel-drive. (The Diablo offered buyers a choice of 2WD or AWD.) |
