A second disclaimer - modern mid-90's and up, non-base-engine honda civic.  
the DeLorean was no slouch when judged against similar 1981 era cars.  also, it 
blows my mine how advanced the interior design was for its time - ever 
compared against a 1981 chevy caprice classic? or even a mid 80's BMW?

if your car is actually tuned up well and sorted out, it's really quite 
quick.  it's faster than my 200 hp Lexus ES300. naturally, it handles better too :-)
