I owned a Countach along side my Jalpa and my father has a 91 Diablo. I have driven all three back to back many times. For me, I much prefer the driving experience of the Countach believe it or not. It is more masculine to sit in, and the clutch and shifting require a more thoughtful touch which I like.
The Diablo is excellent as it addressed the shortcoming of the CT by having windows that open and better visibility and of course is faster. Just opinion of course, but I would drive a Countach 7/10 times over a Diablo. It also draws a bigger crowd at coffee.
Love them both but the CT takes if for me.
