Well to be correct I had a 84 Vette in March 1985 it had the Z-51 option,which in it's day was as high tech as a Z06 is today,it just had too much Electrical problems,being as the new Gen.Vette,so I kept it for about 10 months,then sold it,which was the reason I stuck with Deloreans again,just remember,17 years from now the same thing is going to be said about your 2001 Vette it being nothing,my Vette was capable of handling 160mph,and also had the same deep exhaust note,and in those days owning a 1984-85(remember this was 1985) Vette was equivalent/no different than owning a Ferrari 308GTSi,since of course there were NOT many new generation Vettes around yet,try to make that statement with a 2001 Vette. But of course since in those days Deloreans in MINT showroom Condition,with almost no miles,one owner or NO owner condition were easy to find,and you could get the above Deloreans with what you pay today for a rough Delorean($8000.00-$12,000)it WAS well worth going back into buying a Delorean again!! Today I would be hard pressed trying to "find" that perfect Delorean that was so easy to find in the 1980's,unless I was to spend at LEAST 25K or better,which I would refuse to do since I was spoiled from the 1980's era of being able to buy those perfect Deloreans on the cheap. Kinda like remembering the hot Ladies from the 1980's and then seeing them today. : ( Claude --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, DMCVIN6683 <dmcvin6683@...> wrote: > > Sold the Delorean last Thursday and bought the Corvette Friday the > day after.
