Remember that us old guys (45 here) who bought their DMC's new can now afford (assuming our brains are not tiny) to buy seriously fast, good handling, incredible braking and balanced cars that would eat any modified DeLorean and just own the D for what it is - a curiosity of the automotive world that came to market undeveloped and left precisely the same way. Those of us that bought the cars new in 81, 82 or 83 could've bought very well developed and fast as hell (for the time) Porsche 911's and have a lot of money left over. We bought them because they were unusual and admired the guy who had the guts to do it himself. If John Z. could have brought the car to market five years sooner, had time to develop a better car and price appropriately, the demise of the DeLorean may never have occured and "tiny brained" people wouldn't have the desire to bend, spindle and mutilate as no one does so to 911's. Every serious collection and museum has one in their inventory due to the history and uniqueness - not the performance. Fred 6894
