Mike, That sounds about right. However, let me just clear up that my Professor was NOT driving a competition tuned 911 at the time we raced each other. He does race those but his car is a wimpy little 1982 911 SC. Still, that should put him (roughly) in the same category as me, speed wise, but it didn't. Like I said before, I don't know why Dad's car is fast and mine is slow when we have them tuned by the same guy, but they are. By the way, you have a very interesting hypothesis about the monkey wrench in the Porsche thing...The Volvo dealership I go to also services Porsches and Audis! Hmmm!! (hehe) By the way, you wrote a great recap of the Cleveland show for D World this quarter...I couldn't put it down! -Josh VIN 5102 VIN 15964 Mike Substelny wrote: > Maybe your Volvo technician threw a monkey wrench into the Porsche? > > Seriously, the DeLorean does perform about equal to a Porsche 944 or 924S, and better than a > Porsche 924 or 914.
