That Delorean sound...the same in BTTF?

[Stephen Strelczak <STEPHEN.STRELCZAK@xxxx>]

Cheers for that Martin,

 

         I'll try and makeit up for Sunday, and being the friendly and helpful person I am, stay till the end and dismantle the stand. The engine sound seems very promising indeed, can't wait to hear that burble for the first time. Out of interest, if you think back to the BTTF films, did they use the real sound of the car, or was it tinkered with a great deal to sound beefier for the film. Were there any other differences between real Ds and the film cars, apart from the extra time travel dummy gear all over the car. Was it lowered. trim changed, wheel changed etc etc. Would be interesting to know how different the real car is from the one that most people percieve in the film.

                                Open discussion on that on, regards

 

                                                Stephen.

Stay till the show finishes and help dismantle the stand, then you'll hear how they sound.

It's a well muffled sound - there's no burbling, but not much lagging in the engine bay like you get now, so the result is a fairly loud deep throb. I particularly like the steam that comes from the exhausts when its cold. It doesn;t rev like a Ferrari though, but it's nothing to be ashamed of either.

The only car that sounds better IMO is my mate's Skyline GTS-R which is a race-tuned strait-6 - even smoother and deeper. None of your tin-pot vauxhall nova noises!

It looks like it will have to be Sunday for me. If anyone is thinking of going that day, and feels like bringing their Delorean, I'd really like to hear the car ticking over, as have not experienced this yet. I think I really ought to hear before I get too much further towards investing in one. I've listened to a few recordings on the internet, but all were too muffled.

        If any ofyou guys were to describe the engine sound, how would you do it. Does it sound like any other car, does it have a big engine or small engine sound, does it turn heads? Does that 2.8 litre block sound sporty, even grunty? I just don't really know yet, and would like to. Answers on a postcard(of a Delorean of course:) Regards,
