Like I said, not completely doubting you in my prior post. It's just if you owned something this great then I would think that you'd be posting a whole lot of more information than you have. It's just too good to be true that I remember these same pics from so long ago and no new pictures of this car are on this page six years later...

I'm a little confused. Well... actually really confused. And here's the reason why. See, I don't think you actually own this car. In fact, this is one of the most ridiculous CarDomain pages I've seen. You see, I remember seeing the original build by the builder of the car. Back in fall of 2003, the car went up on eBay (which is where most of these pics that I remember that you have originally showed up). I really remember it because of the house it was parked in front. It also doesn't help the fact that the original owner posted a high-def (for the time) shot of it that you have from the side onto his house. For a while one of my computers had that image as it's background... Another thing that gets me is if you actually owned this car you would be quick to defend the GM engine that is sitting in it's bay. Of course that's a GM F-body LT1, and if you don't know what that is look it up. I can tell it's from a said F-body primarily because of the sensors positions. I remember this build particularly because of the massive amount of room that exists between said LT1 and the stretched Fiero chassis, which I'm obviously seeing. While the car looks pretty good on the outside, the interior and engine work is particularly sub-par for a replica. See, another thing too is that you took these pics in July of 2003. Wow. Umm... the sixth month is June... Amazing that you mention July 8th to a tee, but the pictures are obviously from June 8th. Like I said I remember the stamp dates from when I originally saw the pics back in 2003 because the owner at the time was quick to defend that he had done some detailing to the car between the time the pictures were for sure taken (which was on June 8th) to when the car appeared on eBay. Also see this. I can tell what transmission that LT1 is hooked up to. It's coupled to an 4T60-E. How do I know that? The car is an automatic. How do I know that? The position of the shifter in the second picture (the gate is fake). And again how do I know that it's an 4T60-E? Because of the orientation of the engine. Actually, the ultimate reason why I know this is an 4T60-E is because that's the only automatic trans that will work with an LT1 swap... See, guys that normally swap this running gear in their Fieros turn the intake the other way, but for some reason this replica has it swapped. Probably because the intake is closer to the side of the body. See another thing is too that these engines are factory rated at around 260 hp, but with the 4T60-E you can't do much engine wise because the trans can't handle the extra power. Some guys run over 300 lbs of torque in Fiero swaps, but upping it much more usually ends in disaster. So this "Diablo" is going to be anything but fast. I imagine on a good day a boosted Honda Civic running a 14B on 7-9 psi with supporting mods could hang with it easily and take it. But hey, what do I know? I'd like to say thanks for playing the game though, but you've lost. If you want to prove to me you own this car, post a photo of the same car with a soda can on the inner right wheel and on top of that LT1's 4T60-E trans. See, if you own all these cars you post and this one then that should be simple to do with a cheapo digital camera. Probably take a whole five-ten minutes. Do that, and then I will eat every word I have just spoken and update my pages that you are such a better person than myself.

This kid is full of it. First off i think the Diablo was only produced until 2001. From the pictures he has up it looks to be a stock Lambo. The engine shot is all wrong and the quarter mile time of 10.15 is about a full 2 sec off the lambo's documented quarter time. I think someone is dreaming and yeah why are tou listed in MD if u live in VA?
