When I lived in Houston I use to go with some friends to the corvett 
club autocrosses. The tires you will wear are the fronts and expect 
to heat up the brakes big-time. Also, I set up the fans so they 
would run all the time to keep things cooled down. You can just 
jumper the wires at the sensor and that will do the trick. The car 
does great and it is fun but, it is a dog on power and really plows 
through the turns because of the terrific understeer. With so much 
weight in the rear, hard braking into a curve can also get you into 
a spin quickley. You learn to come into the corners a little slower 
and accelerate out early to keep things smooth. Its a real education 
on DeLorean handling if you get a chance. Advice; don't over rev. 
Max torque is at 3-5M RPM.
