After they changed to brembo calipers with the VT in 93/94 it got better.

VT6.0 brakes are as perfect as on the Murci, huge improvement was with MY 99 with ABS and drilled discs.

As long as I'm faster on the race track as the colleague with a 99 SV I'm quite satisfied with my QV...

Countach will be worth more than a Murci for sure.I would not be surprised to see a Countach go for $250k in a few years.

you are correct: diablos are generally better all around performers

late diablos have upgraded brakes, better handling (wider front ), more power ecc... the early diablos had some faults but are still fast and light cars

it must be said all around performance a 91-92 diablo is not so much better than a countach as one would think

given the fact countach project came from 20 years before diablos, this speacks good for the older countach

this is all i wanted to say

both great cars: i'd like to add a diablo to the stable someday....who knows?

are you such a better driver or are the cars close in lap time, Raymond?
