I was always a staunch 6.0 fan,

however lately i am starting to waiver and think the SE30 is really the one to have, 2wd, light weight (comparatively) its great

I think the BEST Diablo would probably be the 6.0, taking into consideration e.g. driveability and reliability.

But for me:
1 SE
2 GT
3 SV
4 6.0

And of course SVR + GTR but those are not street legal

Of street-legal cars, definitely the SE30......

Only 25 for USA = most rare

Most light ~3200 lbs with aftermarket exhaust and one-half tank of gasoline = best handling

Highest power to weight ratio = quickest

Most aerodynamic from reshaped/lower front spoiler, and miura-style rear deck lid = highest top speed of 208mph

Coolest performance features such as adjustable/defeatable traction control from their old F1 program, on-the-fly cockpit adjustable rear sway bar, lightest unsprung mass with drilled and lightened brake discs and hubs and magnesium wheels, adjustable rear wing flap, etc.

Simpler: no complex electrohydraulic shocks to break down, power windows to slow down, ABS, etc. = easier to maintain and live with

BUT.....not as comfy, but that is what your BMW, Mercedes, Audi, or ______(fill in the blank) is for!!!!

The best is one thing, my favorite is another. The best must be the 560. My favorite, 640

I'm very happy with a early Diablo. Not having the lift system is a big plus for me. The car is also very reliable. I have 65,000 miles on mine.

I also love the SE30.

....just kiddin

in a perfect world one of the 28 SE30 JOTA cars ... given the rarity (and price) of these things a purple or black euro SE30 would MORE than do it for me

the green GT is SOMETHING to

Well of course I am biased..

The best to me are as follows

1) 2001 Diablo 6.0SE

2) 2000 Diablo GT

3) 1994 Diablo SE30

4) 2001 Diablo 6.0 standard
