I'd have to agree with the claim that the DeLorean can outhandle the AUdi TT and the LOtus Esprit. Case and Point-NASA Autocross at Virginia Motorsports park as of Jan 13, Yesterday. When pushing the DeLorean car to its limits it always FEELS as though the rear end will slide out, but its extremely difficult to ever get the rear to acutally slide out and its never happened to me. The Lotus, while being a great car, exhibits too much body roll and seems to slip everywhere on the track (Not to mention it broke down in the 1st heat) THe Audi TT has vital flaws as well, its front wheel drive. WHen you push the car hard the front tires are gripping around the bends but the rear doesn't follow, instead, like most front wheel drive cars "Its difficult to oush hard around the bends and is very tail happy".
