No idea on a Diablo, not sure when the clutch safety switch became the norm/mandated.

In college my roommate had an 81 VW Scirocco and it could be started without the clutch being depressed. We were working on it and he asked me to start it - which I did leaning in the driver's window...... Very fortunately the e-brake was fully engaged. He had done a lot of work/mods to that car so it's possible that he defeated or disconnected the neutral safety switch - I don't remember.

The ZR-1 was too expensive to succeed — but too good to ignore | Jason Cammisa Revela

Jason Cammisa's sarcasm on some of the vintage stuff is amusing to say the least. I vaguely remember all the rage of the ZR1 and how expensive they were and all.

I watched that video too. I almost didn't because it was just a old Corvette, but then I thought, "Jason is going to make this interesting" and he did.

The Lamborghini Miura is proof that your boss needs to back off | Jason Cammisa Revel

I can't believe how young the chief designers/engineers were (27-29).
I've seen the transverse V12 in the Miura, and it's pretty amazing with it's packaging.

How this Tiny Motor is More POWERFUL than Your Car

Two of these motors with a single inverter will make 660bhp and weigh less than 85kg.
Hats off to Koenigsegg for their revolution approach to electric motors

But, the fact that it says Koenigsegg on the side, means $$$$
Be interesting to see this trickle down as others develop similar.

IIRC, they open-sourced their freevalve tech & a guy made his own freevalve head for a 1G Miata.

Honda's CRAZY Oval Piston Engine

One of the reasons I like Honda's engineering, some pretty unreal ideas even if they don't make sense sometimes.

Also, at needing a chain for the dyno, instead of just straps.
The way that thing revs & gains speed
