This was supposed to be the entry-level Lamborghini after the Jalpa and before the Gallardo. It was co-developed by Chrysler and Lamborghini. Without Lamborghini, there would be no V10 - at all, supercar or not. This was the first production V10 ever, not just in a supercar but in any vehicle period. You gotta give Lambo credit for that V10. Lamborghini could have easily built this very same car with much more interior refinement and contemporary semi-slick tires, placed just below the Diablo.
A Diablo from this era was around 0.3 second quicker to 60 mph, 1.0-1.5 seconds quicker to 100, and around 15-20 seconds quicker to 150.
Porsche was doing most of the "entry-level supercar" work (namely the 911 and to some extent the 928), as was Chevrolet with the Corvette model. Those were the most common ones in this era. JDM-derived monsters (other than the NSX, which was absolutely an entry-supercar) were more muscle car or tuner car (depending on who you ask) than supercar, particularly the Supra, 300ZX, Skyline, RX-7.

One of my friends just bought one of these first generation Vipers. Unfortunately they live in a distant state, so I can't ask for a drive. Vipers are groovy!
