[DMCForum] Re: fast Deloreans



Well, maybe so.  

Your car is fast.  I would not be surprised if your car, by virtue of 
its rotary engine is capable of a higher top speed than any other 
Delorean in existence.  It's just too bad (or a good thing) we don't 
live at that end of the curve.
I'm getting antsy too.  I'd like to actually have hard data on my 
car, instead of projections based on approximations.

Rick.
