Hi there Diablo SE30, great first post. Welcome to AF

A few observations, statements, and questions:

-Great looking (and I'm sure great performing) car.

-If the car is running at its limits on the stock engine parts, then this should be upgraded to aftermarket, strong, parts for added durability. It would also eliminate the weak links, which have been identified in terms of their limits (has been said that this car is running close to its limits).

-Amazing to get such power at such low bar boost with no engine modifications (for internals).

-The stock engine can handle that power due to the amount of air it can flow, and the strength of the parts, as well as the CR of the pistons.

-It was nice to see that the company offered you to check it out.

-Nothing has happened to the car because of competent driving and maintenance.

-You listed what the company who made this car does. They should integrate all of those services, which haven't already been offered in this Diablo, into the car so that it can harness the power and put it down to the ground a bit better.

Lambo Maniac:

-Can the Murcielago transmission cope with the power? Is it rated to the power displayed with this car? I'd have thought that a more powerful transmission that was 'purpose built' by a specialist manufacturer who builds gearboxes that can take loads of power would have been used.

-You mentioned the Norris Designs Evo 7. I'm from the UK, as is that car. I've seen it run and usually gets the job done (gets good numbers). It's also a highly regarded car, and there is still a little more potential left in order to get more power from the engine and make the car faster (weight reduction, etc).

-Will we see Murcielagos or Gallardos tuned like this car?

-http://www.kappa119.com/%7Eyanachan/wangan.htm - there are similar Diablos, or even same ones (at least in exterior and engine bay looks). I always wondered what the Diablos in those pics have put out, and suspected big figures as I had heard about other big power Diablos with a similar power output and same setup - twin turbos (and twin superchargers). Now I know what these cars, when tuned, are capable of [destroying].

-Your signature is going to invoke a lot of competition one day.
