When I pull up in one of my Diablos next to a Murci, the Murci becomes invisible.
Is that what the OP meant, or is he suggesting that a Murciellago is the better car dynamically?
I've got an early Diablo and an early Murci.
In many ways they are similar.
In terms of looks, are they really that very different to be able to say that one makes the other "invisible"?
I remember the first time I saw a Murci driving in London, towards me, from a distance, I thought it was a Diablo initially.
A Countach looks and feels very different to a Diablo or a Murci. The difference between a Diablo and a Murci is less - but it feels much more modern, better made. It is quicker too. The Diablo is certainly more old style - no ABS, no power steering.
My only point is that, for the same money, I know which I'd take.

GTR35 is better dynamically than a Murci. Would you buy one over a Murci??

Lamborghinis go way beyond dynamics.
So what did you mean by the 'invisible' comment then? I'm confused ( easily done)

Countach, Diablo and Murcielago are all about evolution, and cross over models share parts too, construction is fundamentally the same - Iacocca described the Diablo as son of Countach...

Early Diablos have no power steering and Countach brakes
94- Diablos have Power Steering
98- Diablos have better brakes and ABS
Early Murcielagos have late Diablo Brakes

my experience... the general public will flock to all three. If you put them together, the older cars get more interest than the newer
