I think Lambo might inflate their HP #s, but other than that their claims
are usually legitimate, IMHO.

Diablo braking was pretty poor until the SV I believe. Karl Troy had a race
Diablo...should be decent, no?

I love this whole Ferrari/Lamborghini war.....Ferrari guys swear
Lamborghinis are garbage, lacking race heritage (and their owners are cocky,
insecure dudes), and Lambo guys swear Ferraris are junk as well(and their
owners elitist snobs).

Amateur talk if you asked me....
