how?as far as i am concerned, using the chassis as a structural element only serves to give you extra ways to loose your teeth.

don't believe the hype.
the muira wasn't the fastest when it came out losing out in the 0-60 to both the MKIII GT40 and the 365 GTB and again losing out in top speed to the 365.
The LP400 Countach when it was first released still failed to top what the 365 GTB put on paper (and tested) and when the Boxer came out a few years later, that too best the LP400 in terms of numbers.
The diablo did a little better but then, it's 0-60 was still bested by the 959 and the top speed claim only last unitl the next year when the XJ220 came out.
