No comparison with the 1985 190HP vette, go drive a new C5 and compare it to the Delorean's wimpy 130HP. I went from wimpy 130HP to a whopping 350HP+ with the extra stuff on my car. Nope wont buy another Delorean. I still love the Delorean world so I will still stay on the DML, I left the forums since I sold my car.
