Re: delorean
John had always had a desgin say on what the Firebird would look like and have in it since the First Gen/Car- http://www.classicalpontiac.com/firebird/ .Although alot of what the Firebird design adjustaments where done in studio's actually alot of critics pointed out how the 3rd Gen Firebird and C4 Vette looked very simliar and were both created prototype's in the same design studio.

Re: delorean
John Z. (bow towards Oakland County, Michigan) is retired. He must be near 80 by now. He did indeed, have his hand in everything at GM, right up to the end of his career there.
The car he built was so slow because GM refused to sell him engines. He had to settle for the Renault and Volvo. It was still an engineering marvel, and nobody has EVER seen one rusted out...

Re: delorean

Re: delorean
I have heard they have Turbo kits for their engines available...But a 2.8 GM V6 would have also been a dog in that fairly heavy car...
John D did always have a certain flair about him though...Cool car dude!
