    I could only get the first minute, or so to play. But, anyway, I like my DeLorean's engine. When I'm driving through the twisties I can here the roaring and whining of the engine and drive-train right behind me. It reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z8aLdIejPs Okay, so it's not as exciting as that engine, but it's still pretty cool.
    Electric sports cars just don't do it for me, and when old classic cars are converted into electric cars, it takes away their character. Well, to each his own.

    Electric conversions aren't my thing either, but I'm just glad this went better than the last video Tuned made with the GN Delorean.

    I drove the Stage 3 Delorean at DCS and it was fun!

    That guy really hates the stock PRV motors. So much so that he's done 2 shows to find alternatives.

    Stage 3 DeLorean must be really fun to drive and hear? Any video made at DCS of it?

    Agreed. I'd like to see some good videos featuring a Stage 3.

    At 2:13 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA6Lz-s9SE8#t=2m13s) he says they will "have to eventually reproduce" left front fenders. I thought the cost of making a die to stamp them out was beyond the realm of possibility, like more than a million dollars. Is that not the case?

    He's actually pretty fair. When he was on Adam Carrola's "the car show" he said he liked the car and would like to get one.

    I thought this thing accelerated to 60 in 5 seconds or less?

    Watch the part where he merges onto the highway. "Full throttle. There's 15............... 20...............50....."

    HUH?
