We are working on article #4 on the 97 DeLorean. This one will be on performance testing. Some interesting comparison I found in the literature show that the D, in 1981 did not do too bad from a performance view. Here's the data: quarter mile time speed 1981 DeLorean 17.6 seconds 79 mph. 1981 Pontiac V-8 turbo trans AM 17.02 seconds. 82.1 mph 1979 Mustang Cobra 18.4 seconds 77.1 mph. Of course, engine technology has significantly changed since this time, but for its day, the D was not all that bad. Dr. Bob
