Dan, If you can get your hands on a copy of auto week February 
11,1980, it talks about how Lotus did all the work on the chassie. 
Colin Spooner, chief Lotus, head of the De lorean project team said 
in the article, it was the best chassie Lotus had ever built. They 
also say that it was changed from a Perfect T to a closed V. The 
change was made to provide additional stability and stiffness under 
the steel clad plastic body. The same article stated that the Pirelli 
rubber was gone and was replaced by Goodyear 185 x 60 HR14s on the 
front and 235 x 60 HR15s on the rear. Also, The HP was by the
ARTICLE 153 @ 5,300 RPM. This was a mule car.
