[DML] Re: turbo/super charging or TT

["Arnie Brandon" <Arnie@xxxx>]

You really mean to say that 130 HP (your D or ANY other) will not keep up
with stop and go traffic?? That you cannot start up as fast as any stop and
go traffic? Where do you live? I'd like to drive in some of that fast
traffic jam. I suspect that there is something radically wrong with your car
if you cannot even drive it at some traffic times, and cannot keep up with
some of the little four bangers.

Maybe I'm a slightly more aggressive driver than most, but 130 HP is
not pleasant, especially in city rush hour stop-and-go traffic. I find
it so unpleasant that I don't even drive the Delorean at certain times
of the day.

Considering that the Delorean really has neither of these (what is
it, 18mpg?) I think you may be making a mistake. I doubt that your
old TransAm got much worse mileage than the Delorean.
