Nick,

nice work. I would suggest one small change.
On page two it says
"John DeLorean left GM in 1975 to start DMC with goals to make a car that was:..."
It should be
"John DeLorean left GM to start DMC in 1975 with goals to make a car that was:.."
He left GM in 1973.

I guess the guys at R&T didn't do their homework or they got a really bad

Either way, 10.5 seconds make the car pretty slow. 8 seconds... well, it's
not so bad anymore.
I don't know, maybe I just happen to have an exceptionally fast car ;) And
as I said it was 100% stock including the air filter, airbox, old OEM Bosch
ignition coil and so on.

Take care,
Tom
