    Thanks not to add any music on this!
    One of the best clips what I have seen, meaning this pure V12 sound!
    THANKS!

    Dear Lamborghinisti,

    Hmm...that exhaust doesn't sound that great. It's got a kinda muffled sound when it comes on cam. My VT Roadster has an incredible bite when it comes into the power band.

    But...ohh...does that Diablo look cool!!

    ...........................................I think the driver was just taking it quite easy , i don`t think he was even in the powerband + if he was it was for a split second. , not pushing it at all . I agree , he car looked really good .

    Its not an open exhaust for sure, but you get a glimse of THAT V12 lambo sound...

    The track really seems to small for the Diablo, I guess he drives around in 2nd gear.

    There's no question about that, you can't really get much faster than 110 mph on the back straight. Still very cool to see and hear it though!

    I was wondering that myself, it sure didn't sound good.

    It sounds like a loose heat shield vibrating on the exhaust system.

    Replica?
    Doesn't sound like a Lamborghini V-12 or it just doesn't sound right.
    ...and what the heck with those unattractive small exhaust tips?

    Someone who recognized the car said that it was burned in a fire and was rebuilt using parts from different models, as you stated.

    The exhaust is Borla, it sounded pretty good when I heard it last month. However, it is no Quicksilver...


    It is real.

    Hmm is there any else good clips of Diablo, onboard and not onboard?
    Searched around 40 pages from Youtube, and found ONE good clip onboard Diablo Roadster.
    Clips where the sound would be mainrole. Recorded outside or inside of the car.

    This one I found, could there be more clips like this one? Meaning the sound quality and such things.

    Dear Lamborghinisti,

    That's more like it....sounds more like mine.

    But.....speed shifting?? Tsk Tsk....that transmission won't last long.... ;)

    Out of each gear, pause in neutral, then into the next gear.

    It should sound like yours, it has a quicksilver also. I was the passanger that took the video. The full video is over an hour long, and consisted of a lot of heal toe shifting, I was not staring at his feet during the whole ride but he was shifting pretty fast using the clutch.

    Some Pics of the Diablo Roadster and Pauls VT, both are great cars and Paul is a really cool guy when you sit down and talk to him.

    Here is quite new clip, too bad the zoom is what it is. Loved the wider view.
