If I remember correctly, way back when, JZ decided on a figure of around $110 
million to setup and get DMC successfully underway.

According to many analysts (as cited in the many books on the subject such as 
Dream Maker and Hard Driving), JZD should have had $250 million, eliminated a 
top-heavy corporate structure, and set his sights a little lower, perhaps to 
10000 cars per year. It would have helped if he could have seperated the 
DMC-12 from the DMC-24 (maybe even the DMC-80) and gotten sedan prototyping done 
sometime in late 1981. instead, he focused on other things such as the Logan 
snowgrooming outfit, fashion accessories, buying out Chrysler, high-tech 
unproven engines, etc. In my opinion, he just didn't focus on the car - instead he 
focused on the DMC conglomerate.
