Well with a reported 3.8 0-60 MPH I dont think a FWD would be even in first with a Diablo VT. Hell even without dumping the clutch they pull a 4.3 0-60 MPH. Despite what has been said the Lambo trannys are very strong (was it Car&Driver that was popping the clutch at 7000RPM to launch...clutches arent that strong though) and it does take some talent to launch a NA V12 with AWD without roasting a clutch.

Either:
(A) He didnt want to race.
(B) He didnt know how to launch the car.

Either one can be expected from an owner of a $300K car. Im guessing he just didnt know how to launch it which makes an enormous difference in 1/4 mile times. But even without doing an AWD launch the Diablo is capable of LOW 12s on radials (12.2@122 - hell of a trap speed too) and I would fully believe it would run high 11s with a good launch (knocks .5 seconds off the 0-60).

Sorry I just cant believe a FWD on radials (with a passenger even) can hook up well enough to run those sort of times. Slicks yes...radials no.
