You said: "If someone is driving around popping the clutch trying to peel off, then the bolt will give or the frame will or you will tear up the clutch shortly" ....... "But it wasn't built for that and virtually nothing you can do short of a total rebuild will change that. We just have to admit this ourselves. It's a classy car with classy looks and I'm all for making it more safe, but it isn't a hot rod." As part of our Pre-Delivery Inspection I conduct a road test that runs the DeLorean through extreme maneuvers. Wide open acceleration, high speed hard cornering, and panic stops are all part of the road test. My 260 k mile DeLorean has seen its share of DMC Joe's extreme road test procedures with no incidents. The design engineers and factory QC personal also put the car through extreme test procedures that would not be attempted by most DeLorean owners. The trailing arm bolt failure problem is highly exaggerated and actually has a very low incident rate. Yes; it should be of concern to all owners who have not inspected and or replaced damaged components.
