Josh, Yes, I think we can agree that the DeLorean may be a little quicker than many imagine but: "..... now I can burn rubber in all gears" ???

Perhaps you should look into having your car tuned up. Both me and the previous owner of my father's car thought it was slow until I had the engine tuned by a local Volvo dealership. I took it out driving along side my design professor in his Porsche 911 one day when he decided to race me on a section of deserted highway. I won! After we arrived at our destination my dejected prof. told me that he just couldn't keep up. By the way, my professor is German and races his Porsche in amateur competition! Before the tune up, I couldn't even squeal the tires on wet pavement, now I can burn rubber in all gears. The car is naturally aspirated and, as far as I know, has no internal modifications. I do however get horrific gas mileage. What's going on here? Josh VIN 5102 (my slow untuned car with excellent gas mileage) VIN 15964 (Dad's gas guzzling speed demon!)
