The power output isnt that bad. When would you ever use the cars full potential anyway? Would you be racing the car? If you want performance, maybe the De Lorean isnt for you. Would it not be cheaper for you to start out with a Lotus Esprit? They look similar to a De Lorean, and they have the power you want. I do agree with you on the price of the DMCH engine, but I suppose you could end up spending that much on an engine if you had all that work done. At least it should be very reliable!

I said it probably 10 years ago on this list, The PRV engine is common in Europe I am surprised some of the hot-rod stuff has not made it to this side of the pond (at a reasonable cost). How is it that Venturi got 450HP out of this engine? Or even the 250 that Alpine got? With the line of cars waiting to spend $6000+ on the DMCH engine for (what I believe to be) a minimal improvement in power, It is amazing to me that there are not more vendors offering competitive engine upgrades. --- Thomas Mc Auley wrote: > > > Go with the PRV, and make it a De Lorean again! > (just my opinion) > > Thomas > Vin 4087 > Belfast __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
