Re: [DML] Re: DeLorean Handling

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm not sure I agree that a rear weight bias is easier to catch than
a mid or front weight bias, particularly with the DeLorean because
it is almost impossible to steer with the throttle.  Coupled with a
light front end, once it goes, it's gone.
