Martin, this reminds of something a friend who was responsible for the BOSCH Motorsports department once said - you will see, in the future the Formula 1 will have Diesel motors ! I personally don't like Diesel yet, but what they developped the last few years is great. Walt - wouldn't this be an idea for your tuning ? a DD (Delorean Diesel) ?? Doc Brown would have loved it - >88mph from the oil of your french fires ?!? (pardon - Freedom Fries ;-) ) (But I bet the motor mountings wouldn't hold the motor in place with that torque...) Elvis > 95% of cars in europe have engines smaller than 2 litres. This is because of the high taxation on fuel which has forced manufacturers to produce smaller and smaller engines which are more efficient and cleaner. My Citroen Xantia is a 1997cc direct-injection turbo-diesel. It puts out 110bhp and 250Nm of torque at 3000rpm. It also does more than 50mpg and is in the cleanest emissions bracket for road-tax. Some larger executive saloons go up to 2.5 or 3 litre petrols (ex Vauxhall/Opel Omega), but to find 4 litres or above you have to start looking at special cars like TVR or large off-roaders. The sound of a rumbling V8 is extremely rare on British roads! By comparison to most cars, the DeLorean is noisy. Martin ------------------------ Yahoo!
