Actually limitup, Killer Angel does have a little traction. Her main problem is rotating her wheels in the tires. I am not going to go into detail about all six gearing changes, but first gear @ 8100 will take her over sixty plus mph. Other than that, the tires, wheels, suspension and frame are dead stock.

The stage 4 would come in at about the same spot as the Jaguar XJ220 with about 11.7@126
A stock TT is capable of 11.9 as tested by Motor Trend, so 11.7 for a stg 4 is very conservative. Also Rave TT, a stock Turbo non X-50 should put a diablo on its *** except for top speed

Sorry, not going to happen with the Diablo. I do agree that na 11.70 in a stage 4 is very conservative.

I was in an X50 tt, passengering, next to us was an 96 Diablo. In front of us was a 2.3 mile runway.

First we started to roll, the deal was i would signal for the race to begin by dropping my hand. 20mph i hold my arm up. Thens uddenly the lambo guy just nails it. I look a my friend driving the tt, he just smirks and roughly 3 seconds later we nail it. by 130mph we have drawn along side, by 150mph we are well well past. It was great. And the lambo was going for it, even had to cheat.

all the best

Thats driver my friend. If you honestly think a X-50 could really give any Diablo the jump and a 3 second lead, catch and pass it, youre smoking some serious crack.

I raced a yellow x-50 in my Sv several times in Scottsdale, from all sorts of speeds. My car had exhaust at the time. From 30-to 150mph i was ahead by about 7-8 car lengths.

My Buddy in South Fl had an 01 TT with several mods, chips, exhaust etc, and the same results in my 92 Diablo with exhaust.

The Road and Track article on the Murcielago did explain that the Murci was tested on a very slippery test track, which hindered its time.

Motor Trends Murci clocked an 11.70@123mph, a figure that no magazine has come close to with any X-50 or GT2.

LOL, what are you talking about man? Motor Trend got 11.8 @ 121 in an x-50, Road and Track got 11.9 @ 120.6 in a gt2. Also, Road and Track ran a 12.0 @ 121 with the Murci. I'd say all these times are pretty "close". lol, I gotta stop mag racing.
