[DML] Re: Inadequate DeLorean Grounding Identified (Big Red Circle)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've spent a lot of time working on my DeLorean too (is it possible I know as much about these stupid little cars as the self proclaimed "gurus"...).

Since we're comparing DeLorean sizes in the schoolyard: my car draws about 62 amps maximum (2,000 RPM, everything on except the window motors):

I may have the only DeLorean in the world that could reliably use a stock ground system, which makes its added super efficient ground bus very ironic indeed.

The discussion (for me) was never about what advantages/disadvantages/need there is for bigger (or additional) grounds, but your connecting these 2 unrelated subjects and again blaming the engineers for it.
