Re: [DML] The PRV-6 to Northstar Transfer

["Hank" <henry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I spoke with the Northstar-V8 conversion folks at the Memphis show, and they said that the conversion added only about 90 pounds over the PRV (It could have been even less, but that's the number I remember).   Certainly not enough extra weight to negate the added HP.  Several people at the show got a ride in it as well (I was not one of them), and they all said it was incredible/awesome/fast, etc.

And everyone has an opinion and here's mine:  I didn't by my Delorean to "toast most any car off the line".  I'm perfectly happy with my peppy PRV - I don't feel the need to compete with any other car or person on the road.  

And it's simply not a "black and white" or "purists versus modders" issue - there are many shades of gray in there as well.  I'm no "purist", but I am keeping my car stock so it maintains it's value if/when it comes time to sell it. 

>If you want to use this car as a CAR then do what you need to.

I do use my car as a CAR, and I happy the way it is, as I'm sure most DML members are with theirs.  Please don't put us down just because you have a different opinion.

If you want to mod your car to suit your needs, that's fine and you'll have no argument or judgment from me, but don't lump everyone else into the velvet rope/purist camp just because we're not engine swappers.
