my perfect 92:

has a heavy clutch heavy steering and slow gear shift, the suspension is horrible, it feels like a kit car and understeers horribly, its long and heavy and it shows

basically, dynamically its just horrible, but disguised by the wide track, low stance and wide rubber

the 4wd diablos are 100% better but the weight length and balance issues are still there but disguised by 4wd and power steering

lambos are not for 'best; performance lets be clear on that, they do only one thing better than ANYONE else which is:

they have THE MOST exotic status amongst the general public, like a mythical beast they make ferraris et al irrelevent and the mosslers an koenigs of the world are unknown to the general public

sooooo on that price / value scale they are NUMERO UNO
which is why i dun go me one and i love it to pieces

Nice to see an owner tell it like it is. BTW your PM to me helped to clarify my decision.

They drive great, all of them. My buddies 91 is really quick. My 6.0 has more torque but clearly feel heavier. It is a VT (but not for long) Understand that these are not nimble cars, but they are responsive. Can get tricky with oversteer; you do not want to let off the throttle right in the middle of a tight turn. The back can get out on you in a hurry.
The later cars have more power assists, but the driving experience is great. The sounds are great. Visibility is surprisingly good in back, but poor over the rear quarter panels. The thing that took the longest to get used to is the width of the rear of the car. Otherwise the cars are a dream to drive and seem to make everyone that sees them happy.
