Re: [DML] My opinion on how the D handles and East TN meeting

[CIAsleeper22@xxxx]

I have had personal experience with Steve Wynne's black test DeLorean which 
has been outfitted with all the modifications that James Espey is speaking 
of. I have also drivin "other cars in its class" and trust me on this, the 
DeLorean holds its own with the upgrades. Taking into consideration that the 
DeLorean is a 3,000 lb stainless steel tank, the handling is quite impressive.

However.....in my personal opinion....the DeLorean could handle like a 1975 
American Motors Pacer and I would still drive it with passion. Its a 
DeLorean. I know two people with Audi TTs, and not one of them can share 
similiar experiences with me that I have had owning my DeLorean. How many 
times do you see mobs of people gather around a TT at a car show? Or have a 
family run up to you in a parking lot and ask questions for 20 mins. Or drive 
thru Florida or California and see billboards boasting the most intense theme 
park ride featuring an Audi TT as the main attraction?? Im not saying that 
the TT isnt worth praise, it certainly is. But its not a DeLorean. Just as 
the DeLorean is not an Audi TT.

The only mistake that I really see in James' posting is when he compared the 
DeLorean to "other cars in its class." When it comes down to it the DeLorean 
is easily in a class of its own. :)

Either way, I have seen many improvements being made on the DeLorean sports 
car thru better engineering from many of the DMC vendors, including DMC 
Houston with their new engine and suspension, as well as PJ Grady and their 
impressive line of Zilla components. .....so why are some of us trying to 
discourage them?

Just my two cents
