By far unless you had/have the experience to drive or own a "new" Delorean in the 1980's era,it is hard to experience just what it's like..I don't know it's just not the same..maybe it was just the freshness and the newness of a new Delorean. The Vette by far was the best handler,but with the z51 option,it handled straight and true and glued to the roads at extreme high speeds,with the Gaterback tires,but rode like a buckboard at street speeds,and mine seemed to have all the electrical gremlins in it. That is why I tried them all except a Ferrari(but I came close twice to buying one)From the vettes to the trams-ams to the Mercedes SL's to the Lotus Esprits,Bricklins,and Fiero Gt's,and further back to the true Muscle cars of the 1960's GTO's(basically hotrods,you raced them on the weekends,repaired them on the weekdays)But by far the best were the Deloreans,the Fiero Gt's,(fastback)the Vette(s),Bricklin and Mercedes in that order.

When I got my red 2000 C5 roadster in early 2002 I knew I was through with DeLoreans. It is a super reliable driver's car that does 162 MPH and gets 31 MPG in the process. I drive top down any time it is not raining, down to 27 degrees. I couldn't care less what some people say about Corvette drivers because I'm having way too much fun. And with what I got out of selling Specialty Automotive and BLWNAWY I also built a '32 Ford hot rod roadster. For those of you who think that a DeLorean gets so much attention, try driving a street rod some time. I've had 7 DeLoreans and a Bricklin, and they (like Corvettes) don't begin to equal the attention a '32 Ford roadster gets constantly. All I can say is, if you aren't getting a smile on your face every time you drive your "special" car, there are lots of other choices out there that just might open your eyes to a whole new experience. > > > [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!
