Although I do not have a 01 6.0 Diablo, I have a 99 5.7 with exhaust work done to it which gave a very noticable difference in power and shaved off 70lbs measured on the scale. The Diablo is very powerful and wants to be driven fast, I catch myself hitting almost 120mph before entering the rt lane of the freeway sometimes just before hitting 4th gear. Making U turns is not as sharp and the engine is loud, people know when you are coming. The Ferrari is a lot easier to drive and I mean A LOT easier. Diablo is like driving a monster and it makes its presence, the good thing is that the car is well respected in it's surroundings and I haven't received any stupid remarks about the car or too many people trying to race but where ever you go you get the crowd. If you don't want too much attention and just want to enjoy your ride, the Ferrari is the best choice. In my opinion if you can only have one sport exotic car it would be a Ferrari. If you can afford a few cars then a Lambo is a must without a doubt. These are definately 2 different breeds of cars without any close comparison, one does one thing the other does another. Hope that helps

Mr. Romero:

We have both cars in our collection, and I can tell you that these are two very different cars.

The 360 is well balanced, light, nimble, reliable, loves to be driven hard...

The Diablo is a pure brute -- huge power, point and squirt, big noise, not as driver friendly, will punish you if you get out of line with it, but reward with huge power.

Of our customers who have driven both, we get the most compliments with the 360... the Diablo gets a mix of compliments and disappointments.

I recommend you drive both and see which suits you better. It's really a personal thing based upon your individual taste.

I haven't driven any but I would have to go with the F360 due to reliability alone...

Thinking about getting one. Has anyone driven both cars? Any input you might have will be greatly appreciated.
