I never really liked the delorean, it just looks ugly to me. Though, I guess it could be said that anything with a 20B is cool.

get a scratch or a blemish on the exterior? no problem just use steel wool and shine up your ride.

Those cars suck, the weight distribution is horrible, they are not light, and the stock engine puts out :

Max Horse power: 130 @ 5500 rpm

Max Torque: 153 ft LB @ 2750 rpm



weight distribution is 35/65 (big shock there with the v6 hanging off the trans on the back of the car)



according to the pamphlet on delorean.com the weight 'with full tank' is 2712lbs



so it's slower than a stock S4 NA FC, blistering performance.

Those numbers are wrong. I can take a pic of the DMC shop manual for you.



I've seen the Delorean's numbers so mis-quoted over and over. The first site I found had the Delorean rated at 88 hp.

Ok, maybe you were right Pengaru. Didn't believe it until I saw it on Delorean.com.

he was only off by 11hp. The delorean ran like 16.5 1/4 miles IIRC.
