Diablo took over the mantle from the Countach in the late 80s, and hasn't looked back. If Darth Vader were going to go cruising, he'd take a black Diablo. It hits 60 in only 3.9, and purrs its 530hp right in your ears. Don't bother trying to see out the rear-view mirror, there's no one gaining on you.

If you're thinking that the math adds up to the McLaren being #1, look again. It's not about math here, kids, it's about making people wet their pants, and the Diablo is the Niagara Falls of pants-wetting. It's been around the block, it's established its legend, and proven itself time and again. You may not blow a McLaren or Hennessey off the road, but you will look like the baddest mofo out there while you're trying. This car will make everyone else on the road want to take public transportation.
