[hiphophomer]

1999 sv or 2001 vt?

[hiphophomer]

cmon guys only 3!?

[MeanRex7]

well, being the older bumper and engine the SVs at a slight disadvantage (well to some people)
But maybe a better comparison would be VT 6.0 vs VT 6.0 w/ RWD conversion

would say 6.0 GT, but that car is so sexy, that it'd be no contest

Their 1/4 mile times are practically equal and as far as speed goes they are identical.The VT is an AWD so it'll pretty much give you better handling in most terrain and on a track. I wasn't able to find the exact price for the VT but I know for a fact it is cheaper then the SV when used. So it all comes down to what you want in the car. But IMO if i had the money and these two cars were placed infront of me I would take the VT. AWD handling, cheaper price and just the tiny bit faster on the track or drag strip. As far as looks go, they both have that sexy diablo look to them so in the looks department they're the same to me, not to mention the VT is newer.

ah i see. sorry, didnt see the year on the poll.

[-Davo]

the VT is awesome, i want a roadster

[HASNAZ]

I would go for the 2001 vt, mainly baecause of the viscous traction, what it loses in smoothness of gear changes, it makes up in the handling department in tricky road/track cnditions

[-Davo]

yeah i wouldn't mind the 6.0 VT, or the millenium roadster

i thought the 0-60 on that is 3.6 seconds

[NewyorkKopter]

lol actually it is...3.6 seconds

[NewyorkKopter]

to tell you the truth, the '96-98 SV vs. 5.7L VT the Diablo SV would just simply kill. One of the reasons of why its my favorite car

but if you want to do comparisons then compare the '99 VT vs. the '99 SV. There was no 6.0 SV b/c of retarded Audi cancelling all rear-wheel drive projects after '00

[diabloroadster2]

roadster like whoa

[DiabloGT]

roadster wasnt a choice...? what are you talking about man? it was only 2001 vt 6.0 and 1999 sv

[DiabloSV]

I would go for the SV. I simply loves that car...
I have promised myselfes not to buy a Lamborghini untill Im 30 yers old. Im 21, and if I had a Lambo, I would`nt manage to keep the speed limit. No point having a Lambo without drivers license. And I think I am more mature when Im 30, than I am now. I will probably afford a SV in a couple of years, but as I said, no mather how much I want one now... I`m not ready for one! Sad, but true....
