If I have to make a u-turn in the DeLorean, I usually have to either go to an intersection with 2 wide lanes, or turn down a side stree to back out of a driveway. On the flip side though, I've never had a problem with parrelel parking in the D. No the DeLorean isn't the fastest car on the block, but it does very good on it's own and then some... The biggest problem the DeLorean has with it's speed is not it's performance, but the fact that other people keep comparing it with more powerful cars. Keep in mind the theory of realitivity on this: "A DeLorean's performance can only be measured in relation the the car it is competing against. And/or the people drving the car (s)." In other words, on the drag strip for 0-60 times, the DeLorean appears to be a slower car. Now in the real world when the DeLorean is in traffic the average vehicles that is goes up against are not muscle cars, or powerful exotics. But rather compact imports and family sedans built for economy, not speed. The same for all the SUV's on the road, they're not built for speed either. Hills are no match for my car! I can hit a fairly steep grade and still gain speed going up it! In this environment the DeLorean can be quite impressive. Plus as I mentioned before alot has to do with the perception of the person driving the car(s). If the driver doesn't like a car to begin with, then it won't get a good review. And vice- versa if they prefer one car over another. Yes I like the DeLorean more then other cars, so I am gerally more favorable to it, but I am staying unbaiased for this posting. To sum everything up: For myself the DeLorean is perfect! I have a good amout of power matched with equal fuel economy. Not to mention unbeatable looks and outstanding comfort! -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, comet6974@xxxx wrote: > The turning radius of the Delorean is okay.
