I am still speechless in terms of the Diablo. I thought a Diablo would beat up on a 390 rwhp Z. I guess not.

And I just saw a video of a 500 rwhp Cobra getting spanked by a tubi G-car (Spanked as in by 5+ cars). So, after seeing your vids, I can safely assume that the Cobra guy was clueless and should not have lost to that Gallardo.

where's that vid with the cobra? i think that's my friend rob. yellow gallardo? I'm sure that cobra was overrated as they normally are. also maybe the cobra coulnd't drive..i know rob can drive very well. i smoked a cobra that clamied he had 460at the wheels back when i just had stingers. you never know with those cobra guys.

i'll be racing rob one on one at various speeds soon. he dind't believe that i took the gallardo so he wants to see for himself. I'm down

Don't forget about racing an SRT-10, with a good driver. Would love to see that.

Awesome Vid,dude! Running with and beating out exotics in the Z makes me proud...good job! You really walked away from those 360's pretty good.

Yeah,I'd love to see some runs against some Viper GTS's and the SRT-10's.

That is sick man. Thanks for the vid. I can't believe you get to hang out with all those exotics. You're one lucky SOB.

good runs and I must say having raced a Gallardo on the track it pulled me on the straights so I am really surprised at the outcome even more so for the Diablo. however those runs seemed liked they were very fun.

And when you take a 360..gut it...put one race seat in..put a rollbar in it..and put meatballs (the big round stickers with the numbers from the old lemans cars)...that's awesome.

I think exhaust plates are as gay as they come...most people here dont. doesn't really matter one way or the other.

glad you enjoyed the vid
You don't have to agree with me, but that's basically what so-called "ricers" do. They try and deck out their street driven cars to look like race cars. I'm sorry, but unless the sponsor whose sticker you're putting on the car is paying your bills to go racing (at a track), it's not that cool IMO. Besides, I wasn't really referring to the race replica 360. I was more referring to the black 360 with black wheels that had the Pirelli sticker on the back bumper.

I agree with you on the exhaust plate. I think it's pointless. My point is that I don't think that a lot of people have ground to stand on when they pass judgement on other cars like custom imports. To each is own.

I think this video just proves that magazine numbers as close as these cars are means who ever gets the jump has the race.

Obviously certain cars, like the Diablo have the legs to catch up and pass any of the participants there.

The runs are also impromptu ones, where folks will hesitate amybe be slow to shift, only run up and shift 500rpm before redline etc.
