Used Lamborghini Diablo or New Camaro ZL1?

[nasa.zl1]

Not sure how often to change the oil but I believe they hold 19 quarts and I heard it costs $4,500 to change the oil. Have to drop motor out.

But for me it is going to be the ZL1, simply due to the 100K mile powertrain warranty. I would consider the Z06 Vette but my car often doubles as a truck when I need to get things done and the Vette has no space.

I'll just make the ZL1 a little extra cool...

I don't think hardly anyone realizes the performance potential of these ZL1 cars if the right tuner gets ahold of it. You would have to be a very good driver to out run me on the track with stock 911 S turbo, any stock lambo, and probably with the new Z06. Repairs and upgrades are so reasonable I don't even worry about the engine warranty. Even the most radical crazy triple disc carbon clutch costs less than the oil change on that lambo. ZL1 is a very good choice.

Diablo is old and tired... Gallardo yes for sure... Just get the ZL1

Along those lines, I think if you simply removed the air conditioning unit from the ZL1 that could possibly beat the Z28 on a curvy track race.œ

I'd get the Lambo for sure. yes, we all know the ZL1 is a sweet car but it's still technically a Camaro. how many people can say they own or drive a Lambo?

if anything else, I'd get the Lambo for the uniqueness alone. of course this is coming from someone who just ditched his ZL1 for a German car so go figure....

[FINALLYSATISFIED]

I'd choose whatever car made sense for me. I wouldn't concern myself with worrying about attention especially if it would affect my bank account. Random folks wouldn't be paying my car payment and every broke neck wouldnt automatically mean a deposit in my account either.

Go with what feels right.

I was in the same situation as you last year, I looked at everything out there & chose an ADM built ZL1 just like Jess Rayo. I looked at the cost of ownership on all the exotics, like you said with the $4,500 oil change, ownership is incredibly high. My car is far from stock but its a Chevy, parts are dirt cheap compared to other car makes. I was in a 1/2 mile race yesterday & was whipping exotics all day, I trapped 173.6 in the 1/2 mile. I can get parts for my car at AutoZone, heck there are parts on my pickup I could stick on my car in a pinch. Its a Chevy, you can fix it with a hammer & a crescent wrench, beat on it all day & if it breaks you won't have to take out a 2nd mortgage to fix it. The average 12 year old kid with a Lambo poster on his wall would know you had the old car, 10 year old exotics look like the guy was trying really hard to own one but can't afford a new one so he settled for an old one, they're so cutting edge that the old models age really bad the second a new model comes out. You won't regret the ZL1, plenty of attention with awesome performance.

Loaded '15 Z06 and rent a truck when you need one. Cost of maintenance on exotics is ridiculous, especially as they age and parts are harder to find.

Lambo!! But go for a Countach instead of a Diablo

[cruz_LS3]

screw the diablo, get the zl1

[102SS]

ZL1 all the way.

1) Its rare enough that people in the know get wowed still.

2) 580HP with a warranty

3) That used farm tractor will cost you over twice the price in maintenance over a couple of years,used exotics carry exotic prices for parts.

If you don't care about a car bleeding you dry get the Lambo.

ZL1! There's a reason why almost everyone with 100k plus car still has a old school muscle . That they baby!
