[DML] Re: DMC performance

[Robert Brandys <oehcs@xxxx>]

We are working on article #4 on the 97 DeLorean. This one will be on
performance testing. 

Some interesting comparison I found in the literature show that the D,
in 1981 did not do too bad from a performance view. Here's the data:
quarter mile time speed
1981 DeLorean 17.6 seconds 79 mph.
1981 Pontiac V-8 turbo trans AM 17.02 seconds. 82.1 mph
1979 Mustang Cobra 18.4 seconds 77.1 mph.

Of course, engine technology has significantly changed since this time,
but for its day, the D was not all that bad.
