You bring up an interesting problem. If the Delorean floats, how to 
get out? I suspect it will quickly start to go down rear end first 
because of the motor but you can't climb out a window and as soon as 
you open a door (assuming you can against the force of the water) it 
will go down like a rock! I guess that you could kick out the front 
windscreen or push a fire extinguisher through it and climb out that 
way tearing yourself up in the process. Adding weight to the front of 
the car will make the car harder to steer at normal speeds, increase 
the stopping distance, reduce the suspension travel by lowering the 
height, wear the front tires faster, and induce oversteer. The car was 
not designed for a lot of weight on the front, it is a very balanced 
design.
