          OT - Smoked by a Diablo

          First it was safe. So I don't need any postings about how I shouldn't be driving like this. I'm sick of them.

          ----

          I was driving down the corridor here in town and pulled up to a diablo. I tried to egg him on knowing that I would get beat up pretty bad that's if he wanted to play (most guys that drive these things don't).

          Boy was I wrong. I have never seen something pull away so fast in my life, it was amazing!! I have a whole new respect for the Diablo and cars of that calibar.

          We were both going about 85 or so. The time I hit 100 he was pulling very very hard, he had to be doing about 130 in the matter of seconds.

          Anyone had any expierences with cars of this calibar?

          I've had some good runs with turbos but this would have made us both look slow.

          We rolled down the windows just to hear it pull away. I've never heard anything so P*SSED!!

          I actually drive a Diablo SV as a second car, and believe me they are quick!! M5's and M3's are very fast but nothing compared to this class of car.

          I do have pics of the car but there just normal ones. Would I be right in saying I need photos taken by digital camera so I can send some via e-mail??

          You need a scanner to digitalize the prints if you don't have a digital camera. I think you'd better go and buy one at the nearest shop ! I guess that money is not an issue if I look at your profile... a 500hp NOS E39 M5 ?

          Guys, what do you think of that ? Another Alex or what
