Which Diablo would you buy ?

I absolutely love the Roadster, out of all the Diablos they do seem to be the ones with the most problems, specificaly talking about the decklid. Warping has yet to be mentioned for this poor soul.

PERSONALY I am in love with the Titanium/Silver/Whatever Roadster. I agree it brings the lines out unlike many of the colors chosen for that model. It sure does make my knees weak!

 

In 8000 or so miles of driving one, I noticed heat once in stop and go traffic when it was 100 degrees out. There was some heat coming from the transmission tunnel, but not enough to loosen the glue on my fake chest hair.

I also admit it makes more noise than my Sienna minivan.

What "PROBLEMS" have you had?

Sounds like you might think all SV's are POS. If so, what do you want for your POS? Surely no POS would go for more than about $65K. Let's have the details, you might find someone willing to take your problem away (TomF1, want to go halvsies?).

 

lance,

given the size and scope of my mechanical imcompetency, i'd say probably "absolutely" not....but thanks for thinking of me. however, i'd go all in for yours though....lol.

 

I know more than 10 SV owners and not one of them, including me, would describe their cars as problem prone. I, myself have over 40,000 km trouble free miles in my SV. My Sv is not a garage queen. I've taken it to numerous 1000 mile drives, including a 5 day 2500 miles Player's Run event last year. Even with my current mileage, I would still take it to the next Player's Run in June.

 

these are the "operative words"....

 

Definitely not BS5s. I'm 99% sure they're Maya DTMs or ones that look exactly like Mayas, which are pretty common on Murcies. http://store.yahoo.com/wheelsperformancecom/mayadtm.html

Edit: The way I know they're not BS5s is because the spokes in that picture on the SV are bowed out. BS5s are straight perpendicular spokes.

 

Buy the one you prefer and whichever one you pick, you have one awsome ride!
However, the silver one floats my boat by a small margin.

If you get this car then Im definately coming round for a ride! Good Luck and hope all is well.

I have 5500 miles on my 99 SV and it has been perfect. No issues, none, nota! It is an incredible car in every way.

 

based on looks alone I say the silver one as i love the roadster and sv wheels are my fav. of course I drive a ford f150 so no input on the maintenance issues.......

 

What all is involved with the "Centenary" power upgrade?

 

I'd get the silver - while that blue is really nice, it's more of a grand-touring color fit for an Aston or Ferrari V12, rather than a Diablo color.

 

Go silver, looks like it's got better records, too. . .

 

SV with that GTR bodykit!
