Sorry, I didn't pay attention to that. I was busy looking into displacement increase, shorter gears from 1-4, new tire sizes, suspension set-up and what all these mean in terms of PERFORMANCE. I did like the extra cupholder they offered though.
Tell you what though. For a person whose homepage starts with, "real car have no cupholders," you sure seem to be pre-occupied with turn signals

If the Diablo uses recycled headlights from a 300z, yea, I would think that it'd be less of a supercar/exotic than one that didn't. so yea, i'm being "anal" but that's just my opinion.

if i told you that the s2000 seats were actually made by avo, recaros or even xiao xiao from china, and they were used in a ferrari, would you still be so anal? get a life.
may i suggest you make your own car out of paper.

in all seriousness, is this car deserving of "supercar" status. the front turn signals aside, i was reading that it's "powered by a Ford based 4.6 litre turbocharged V8 engine." again, call me anal, but i don't see how it can be "super" if it uses an engine from a ford. i have nothing against ford, but to me, again, it's not "original" enough to be "super"

what would give me a good laugh is when an egg owner pulls up and a guy in a ford cobra says "hey, nice car, we got the same engine."

I pull up in my little Honda Hybrid next to an NSX and say "Hey, nice car, we're both Hondas"
