Robert #6585 has the correct outlook on our cars much as I tried (and may 
have failed in my attempt) to shed light on in my discussions on hotrodding 
versus pressurizing. I just chose to have DMC Houston do my car over, even 
though it has 9,400 miles on it, because all DMC-12's are RARE and even more 
RARE are the unmolested ones that have original wheels, no paint, straight 
panels, nice engine compartments, etc. and low ORIGINAL miles. 

The DMC was originally the DSV (DeLorean Safety Vehicle) (remember?) and it 
was equipped with adequate performance for the time. So let us try to 
preserve John Z.'s little piece of automotive history as he originally meant 
it to be. 

I am also a Ferrari collector and some of the early cars are very, very slow 
compared to today's econoboxes. Enzo made a few 4 cylinder cars that today 
have two commas in their prices...maybe someone should slap a turbo on those 
to go a faster and help them depreciate like anchors to the sea bottom. 
And I'll bet a DMC-12 in good tune isn't all that much slower than a 308 
2-valve! LOL
