I'm sure that the only way I would learn about a DeLorean's handling and capability is if I actually owned one. I'm merely getting questions answered. : ) On one side, in referrence to changing the weight distribution, I guess that is a bad idea, unless of course you counter balance the weight of a new engine by the appropriate offset. I admitt I have to consider all options before even attempting any actions. In light of the steering, I am not a friend of the brake pedal unless behind slower traffic and at stop signs or turns. How does this effect the DeLorean's handling, especially on windy roads? I have a perfect location to test this, at least in my eye. Highway 32, across Salem all the way to the intersection is a very good place to check all kinds of handling. The winding roads are a very hazardous and treacherous trip to make, especially if you happen to be a Texan who isn't known to constantly pedal the brake. For floating, I wasn't worried about a D turning over, so much as I was about how it even floats. I guess it is logical to assume that it would be tail heavy. One question I would have is if someone has thought about placing that spray foam into the fiberglass of these cars to make it a floatie. Not that I ever would of course, unless for some strange reason I happen to get the urge of fishing from car hood.. Wouldn't it be safe to say that the last thing you'd want to do is make a DeLorean float unless you happen to have a trolley motor or a 20 hp marine prop? Now that I think of it, I might be better off overturning a VW Beetle and welding the doors shut. Again I say, I would love to find out more about a DeLorean's handling capabilities, as well as saftey issues simply because I am considering the purchase of one. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Stragand, Dave" <dave.stragand@xxxx> wrote: > Actual accident records show that less than 1 percent of those who die in crashes are trapped in a vehicle that has been submerged in water, rolled over, or caught fire. And that one percent is for all three scenarios combined!
