Stephen,
The BTTF Delorean was a dubbed V8 for the film as the Delorean has a much
higher note and wouldn't have fitted the film (in retrospect of course!). I,
amoungst others, would truly love our cars to sound *that* good!
Major differences to the car included the tires and the front being lower...
but not with springs - oh no - they used bricks!
All the other gubbins was just time stuff... though as has been noticed
before there were several cars used including autos, manuals and various
bonnet designs through the course of the three films... could those count as
modifications? ;o)
HTH!

PS - Mine sounds like the car from the film..... it has no exhaust! Hurrah!
