[Moderator Note: Discussions of the sound of DeLorean engines are appropriate to the DML. Discussions about the semantics of racial slurs are not. No further bandwidth will be given to the "ricer" comment. - moderator Mike Substelny] Marc - > frankly I don't think the majority of DeLorean owners > want their car to sound like a ricer with coffee cans > on the tail pipes. I don't think anyone who has experienced DMCH's engine either through ownership or driving would agree that it has the exhaust note commonly associated with the imports and their exhausts that are popular today. Several people here on the DML have this exhaust, I've read, would any of you characterize it as sounding that way? Finally, I'm sorry you saw my message to you as a personal attack. However my wife, who happens to be Asian-American, did take offense at your use of the term "ricer". I'm sure you meant no offense, right? Sonny V.
