Since it's almost upon us, here are a few bits of information I'd like to share. When anyone says that "The DeLorean is slow" I typically respond that it's on par with the Corvettes and Ferraris of the year. To illustrate my point, here's a compairison:
DeLorean.......Corvette........Ferrari 308 GTSi
0-60 Times:
Alleged 8.6 ....Alleged 8.1...Alleged 7.9
Weight
2,840 lbs........3,345...........3,250 lbs
Horsepower
130 Hp............190 Hp........214 Hp
Power-to-weight ratio
20.8.................15.1............15.2
Really, they're all close and by 1981 standards, there was nothing unacceptable about the DeLorean.
Anyone else care to share their baptized-by-stupid tips?
The last one I have is that, whatever you do, don't have a Flux Capacitor in your car and turn your back for a second. If you do, some idiot will spill soda on your seats and carpet while leaning in to see it.
Also, that's why the seat's sticky, I swear!
