It is completely bone stock and has new Pirelli P-Zero tires and freshly serviced.

    Such a bargain when you compare buying new crap, at the same price. No video game dash and back up cameras.

    A back up camera on a car with this lack of visibility I would highly recommend if driving the car (does not apply here of course). I use mine alot.

    Good to see Diablo Roadsters have finally arrived as a collectible, the production numbers are so small, 450-ish and it has the 90,000 miles of sky feature that no previous Lamborghini V12 had.

    When backing up I pushed all of them. I am crazy with this approach. Never had to replace a clutch in one car. Never a single burn out + I drive around town like it was a truck.

    if you install a camera, you don't get to do the awesome thing where you have half your body hanging out while you back up :)

    love this car btw, next to a 98 SV, hard to get better than an original roadster. proper poster car/what dreams are made of.

    Right? It completely changes the entire car. It is a must for any USA spec Diablo.

    Definitely- the sport exhaust makes them sound like the 91s out of the box.

    That is the choice I made 7 years ago ('99 Roadster with all the improvements) and it is a joy to drive and own. Of course most Roadsters with 10k miles were $125k then.

    John, where is the video?

    I removed the secondary cats and added a quiksilver exhaust and yes, a big improvement......and saved 100 lbs, my only successful diet

    so smart to get it when they were affordable. now that I can finally afford that price range they are so far beyond my reach once again.

    I remember talking with you prior to my purchase because it was really close to you (car was at Broadway Supercars, John Nouri).

    I don't put a ton of miles on my Roadster (avg 700 per year), and my current cost per mile in terms of maintenance is almost $10/mi....yes it would go down with more driving, but every mile is epic.
