Diablos long awaited arrival home

I took delivery yesterday of my "dream car". The car is Perfect. With only 5720 miles on it, it's in beautiful shape. My impression: (although I have not had much time at the wheel)
The car is solid. I'm impressed with how it drives. After driving the SL for almost a year now this is a different feel. Of coarse the Diablo is not as fast, it's 14yrs old, less HP, and heavier. But, it's just as fun to drive and still it's fast. I'm used to the short fast hard shifts in the SL. The Diablos pulls hard especially in 1st and 2nd and the shifts are long. The sound from the V12 is incredible! In sharp turns you can feel the weight of the car and its wide stance. You do get a feel of being planted firmly on the road. I find the Diablo comfortable to sit in and drive, even for my 6'4" frame. You must wear driving shoes or have small feet because of the small, very tight foot well. The clutch is heavy which I like. Although I am in love with the SL's Egear, I missed the 6 speed and the clinking of the gears. It does get some getting used to with 1st gear being where I'm used to 2nd gear being, and 2nd where 3rd,...etc.. So far it's my dream car and I'm not ready to wake up from the dream yet . Enjoy the pics, the Blu Scuro color is beautiful and you don't get it's full effect unless you see it in person
