I had a similar issue after I got my DeLorean. I just thought DeLoreans had really pathetic performance (I knew they weren't exactly the fastest things out there); in reality, the transmission had been rebuilt by someone who didn't know DeLoreans, and the torque converter from a different car had bee put in. The net result was that although the car shifted gears properly, it acted like it was always in 3rd. This made going up a hill from a stop or any kind of acceleration in traffic difficult at best. Finally, the strain became too much, the transmission destroyed itself, and I had to get a new one at DeLorean Motor Center. The car runs a lot better now, although most any other car on the road can out-accelerate it. :) Admittedly, this was a pretty unique case. -- Joe > Have you driven another DeLorean?
