I didn't meet the owner, but was shocked that one would brave to take it autocrossing.....

Seems like a great car for learning how to autocross, the view of the cones looks to be impressive. As long as you don't mind a bunch of Boxsters spanking your time. :-)

 

I don't know, Ive been autocrossing for years, was a service mgr at a lambo dealer for a few years as well, I drove many many Lambos.... I would have to disagree with it being a good car to learn to autocross on.....

Of course as long as the bank account is ready for viscous couplers, clutch and of course pleanty of tires. Oh don't forget the Koni shocks, that always leak..... go for it

Forgot to add the drivability of the Boxster compared to the Diablo, can for sure plan on driving the Boxster home from the autocross- Lambo.... Id bring a trailer, jus in case...

 

Heavy, hard to see out of, expensive maintence. I would rather take a Murcie or Gallardo around the Auto-X

 

or a Porsche and "spank" the competition

 

I give the guy credit for taking his lambo to the autoX and not letting it sit in his garage. It might not be the fastest but I bet the guy had a good time.

 

Oh, I can't agree with you more. I was just stunned when I pulled up and saw it ready to run.

Its pretty sad when you see a beautiful car with no miles on it, to me its kind of a waste. I know collectors and their thoughts on mileage, but to me, why have something your not going to enjoy and just look at.

 

Drive it like it was meant to be. Car is way too wide to autocross, but that didnt stop me from having fun!

 

 

Id totally autocross an SV, rear wheel drive in a Diablo is a blast.
Id compared them to a 996tt to a GT2, not saying a 996tt is a bad autocrosser, but something about the viscous coupler being so weak in a VT (and expensive) while also being able to slide the back end out, in of course, your SV.

 

I dont know why you think the viscious coupler is so weak. I know several people running early Vt's with no problems for many years and many miles.

 

autocross on lava, doesn't sound to kind to me

 

how did he do? I hope he didn't get beaten by a miata.
I know the car is meant for the track and hwy, but on a small auto=cross hmm. might be really tough!!!

 

Here are more shots of it...

 

where was this at?
