Default Murcielago instead of a Diablo?

Why get a 1991/1992 Diablo when I can get a 2002 Murcielago for $40k more (+100hp)?

You should go for the model in the middle.... Diablo 6.0....

Excelent performance...
Great drive..
Stable (currently rising) value.

Of course if you like the modern styling and "easy driving" performance you can still go for the Murci but expect to take a hit on the value over the coming years since this is simply a "mass produced" car... Same for the G...

Because you could get a great Diablo for that price, and that Murcielago could be a mess at that price. Also, don't make the mistake of getting caught up in HP wars, way over rated IMO.

some people like the design of the diablo rather than the murcielago. you could also buy a gallardo or countach for that price. also if you want horsepower go buy a corvette modify it. it will be cheaper and have alot more hp.

Lets face it the Murci is way nicer....just personal taste....If you own a Diablo the biased reaction is expected

For some (me) it's more a question of what you fit in. Diablo, no. 6.0, tight, but yes (and I'd love a purple one). Murcie, no problem. 6'4".
