Put in a copy of BTTF 1, just after Marty goes back in time and leaves 
Peabody's farm
he is driving down an old country road and then slamms the brakes.
The cars slides on the front wheels and then jerks to the left hard.

There is your DeLorean braking system.
Of course, those were a set of Goodyear NCT's but the also on bone dry 
asphalt.

On a wet road your car will slide like it's on glass if you lock the front 
wheels.

Maybe John Hervey is to blame?
I put on a set of his rebuilt brake calipers and they do work a lot better 
than the originals did.
They will lock your wheels right up.

Yes it's true, I do drive like a mad man, but that was not the case when I 
was only
going 30 MPH, and slid about 50 feet into the back of a BMW with zero 
control of the
car in heavy rain.
Bottom line, leave the car at home in the rain and take the OTHER car.
