Lets see. Ive had my car buried past 220mph on the spray when it hits the rev limiter. The faster you go the better the car feels. It never starts to shake or feel unsafe. I use the nitrous at any speed. Tires last for long periods of time because i do not drag race. My car has not required any service as of yet, although i am planning on a valve adjustment shortly, which i will do myself. Other than that, just oil and filter changes, which i also do. The buttons are for the adjustable suspension.

Thanks for the info!

Two more question I would like to ask Allanlambo:

1) How difficult is it to drive a Diablo in slow moving traffic? (I hear the clutch is quite heavy especially when crawling though traffic)

2) Do you have any problems with the Diablo going through bad bumpy roads (such as accidentally scraping the ground when hitting a speed bump or pot hole etc). I hear the Murci owners have problems with their cars scraping the ground because the clearance is quite low.

Thanks for your time!

Diablo is very easy to drive in traffic, the clutch is not heavy at all, and i have power streering. No problems with scraping the front, if i see something that looks like i might hit, i raise the front with the hydrolics. As for the best RPm to hit 60mph, i dont know, i dont drag race. When i race people its always from a roll.

Thanks again ALLANLAMBO.

With any car, in most if not all forms of racing, the best RPM to be at is where the car has the most power, or torque. Drag racing isn't much different, but be aware that if you start off in the peak power range with a 500hp car, you're going to get a bit of wheelspin. I don't drag race, or drive a Diablo, so I'm not really sure when you should come off the clutch to get the best times.

Hmm, that helped a lot.


Anyways, 1995-1998 Diablo SV had 510hp at 7100RPM, and 428lb.ft. at 5400RPM. So somewhere in between 5400 and 7100 would be best.

No U.S. version Sv's from 95-97, only 98+99 and all had 530hp.
