Bill, It is irresponsible to instruct DeLorean owners (or any other auto owner) to remove their functioning emissions equipment in order to get a negligible increase in performance. And it would be outrageous to suggest the removal of the cat to change the exhaust note. If people want to do these things, that is their choice, but such action should not be promoted. I was not attempting to examine the greater social issues of transportation and city planning, but on that issue I agree that most American cities have unwittingly chained their citizens to their cars. And I decided that if I was going to be chained to a car, it was going to be a DeLorean. :-) Gus Schlachter VIN #4695 Austin, Texas [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
