El Diablo Question...

Does anyone have any videos or know of where I can find them? I've only seen videos of its train horn. I want to see this car in action. I went to the DA Motorsports website and saw a few pictures and the video of just pictures put together. I've searched google and youtube and still nothing, so if someone has a secret stash, please share. I've heard so much about this car and the amazing numbers that its pushing so im dying to see it. Thanks alot.

LOL. Just ask the man himself. Member Wilsodh. If he doesnt have anything on the car he currently owns. Be kind of ironic. But, to be honest with you, I have no clue. Since I am fairly new myself. Dont know much about Mr Dave and what he does with El Diablo since he's gotten her. Maybe He would like to shed more light on the matter.

El Diablo puts out about 800bhp in its current tune I believe. It can run at 1000bhp but has been detuned slightly so it can easily be used every day. It used to belong to another board member (Black M5) but I'm fairly sure he lives somewhere in the UAE and it's a bit on the hot side there.

I think Dave (Wilsodh) uses it on a very regular basis, scaring people everywhere.

Edited to ask Dave, do you have a video of the speedo of El Diablo when accelerating at full chat by any chance? I'd like to see such a thing if you've got one you can post without getting yourself in trouble.

I never made the connection before but I just figured out Dave's El Diablo is the same car as the one featured in the May 2005 BMW Car magazine but it went to some guy in Bahrain and only made about 600 hp. So what I want to know is 1) how did Dave manage to squeeze out 200-400 MORE horsepower from that car 2) how did that car find it's way back to the U.S. and 3) WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER THINKING SELLING A ONE OF A KIND MASTERPIECE SUCH AS THE "EL DIABLO M5"!!! There is no replacing that car
