Just Drove a Diablo!
Holy crap!
It's soo fast!
It has a button that raises the front end so you can get in/out of driveways without scraping.
Truly amazing. No room by the pedals though.

I was going to, but it's already getting dark and the car is black. Next time he comes by, I'll get pictures.
Oh yeah, it had a crazy loud exhaust. It was deafening.

Ok, I work at a Honda dealership.
A guy came by to pick up a pilot for his nanny. One thing led to another and when we were done, I told him to let me drive his car. Everybody pretty much hates me at the dealership, but that's ok.
I got on it and it was freaky! It felt a lot different from a 355, which I had driven a long time ago. This thing sounds like a big block Chevy. Insane torque.
Anyway we were doing about 70 on the 110fwy in fourth and the guy tells me to drop it in 2nd!!!!! and hammer it. No kidding. I duly oblidged and 140 happened really quick! The sound is like a gattling gun behind your ears. It revs up very quickly. Shifting was kind of hard. 1st was down and it was "only" a 5 speed. The gate was kind of PIA if you want my opinion.
Actually aside from the bling bling factor and the brute, unadulterated torque -- the car wasn't all that "friendly". I tried to take a corner pretty fast and it felt like if it got sideways, there would be no going back. I didn't want to push it too hard....
I didn't like the steering position or the pedals which were to the right of your body. It had adjustable suspension 1-4, 4 being the stiffest.
Also, because it was an all wheel drive, it felt really, really heavy. Handling feel reminded me of my S4 that I had before the S.
He said he is gonna bring it by again in the daylight and I can drive it again.
He got the Pilot at invoice.
