No. :}

The DeLorean has a pretty low radar cross section, because of the slanted
radiator, the rear mounted engine, and its low profile. But the stainless
does not confer radar immunity. It has somewhat less radar signature than
normal sheet metal, but far more than plastic or fiberglass.

Even if the DeLorean were radar immune, you could still get tickets by
being paced, laser, or by the good old fashioned stopwatch.
