Has anyone ever moved from a Cerbera to a Diablo SV or similar or have both? If so, how did you find the difference in power, running costs, reliability, daily driving etc....???

Will be looking into purchasing a Diablo in the very near future and have been doing some model research, mmmmmmmm....there are some tasty models out there. Some which are well out of my reach like the GT's, and if a standard V12 ain't enough, I heard about a twin supercharged version, the SVS!!!!

But a normal SV would suffice I suppose

Can anyone give me any advice on purchasing one and what to look for and what not to look for? Are there any buying guides out there?

I know the dealers to look for one like SANTA AGATA, TOPGEAR-CARS, MODENA CARS, but are there any other good Lambo dealers out there or people to talk to?

I appreciate any help or advice.

Also, how do track days fair with Diablo's regarding costs? Do any of you Diablo owners take your gorgeous machines on the track?

Thank you for that very useful resource dictys, just what I was looking for. I'll spend some time on there this evening.

Oh and Podie, I'll be an old man before they'll be enough of those on the market for me to buy. And a new one, I'd be so old waiting I wouldn't be able to get in and out of one

I'd love a Typhon considering a new one is not much more than the second hand Diablo's I'll be looking at.

Oh, and I only just found out that Ferruccio Lamborghini has the same birthday as me!!! Should there be any other reason to buy one, a raging bull just like me

Wow, just logged on and read the recent posts.

T, drinks next week as planned chap. Will mail you very soon.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....Diablo Chat over a glass or two.

Went out in a 996TT the other week, very nice and very quick but no way a raging bull Next step from a Cerbera is either a quicker TVR or a Lambo, no questions asked.

Like I said, considering me and Mr. Lambo have the same Birthday's, a Diablo suits my temperament.
