Some pics, image intensive!
A bunch of pics from a local car show. There were 3 DeLoreans there. One was auctioned off for 45 grand CDN i believe. Wish I was the lucky one
 Sorry about the crappy angles and shitty quality. The show was packed and white trash and thier mullet infested kids kept walking in front of me.

Looks like it was a good show! Sorry I missed it
I like the flux capacitor & time circuits that one guy has... talk about authentic!!! Oh, and I like the Road & Track 0-60 stats  10 seconds Just goes to show you that "magazine racing" is way off! If my 0-60 was 10, then the driver of that S2000 must have missed 2nd, 3rd, and fourth gears:silly2:

130 hp x 3,100 pounds = slow Are you sure he was actually racing you?

Advantages DeLorean: Rear engined layout means less driveline loss Dead even in tq with S2K @153 lb.ft, however, the DeLorean gets this peak torque almost 5000 rpm lower in the powerband! I think it should be quite a flat curve as well, as its a volvo engine. Advantages S2K 6 speed close ratio 105 Hp OVER the DeLorean Now the S2K is tested at a 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds. And while I do believe the DeLorean's time is certainly better than 10.5 sec (I would think it would be in the mid 8s) there is simply no way it can match the advantages of the S2K. HOWEVER! Driving an S2K takes a lot of getting used to. In order to hit peak horsepower, one must bring the revs up to 8300 RPM!! At this engine speed, it feels like the engine is going to fly apart (though it can tolerate the revs very reliably), and if braking the car in, you should definitly not be hitting those revs. Lower, say shifting around 5-6K RPM, the S2K is damn slow. It is entirly likely that the S2K he was racing was not being driven to its limit.

As for the S2000 advantage, yes it takes great skill to get the max performance out of one. Is that my problem? No... that is the great thing about street racing

The pics I can see are nice!
As far as magazine "testing," they almost always are very biased against any car they don't like, or are paid not to like (or are not paid to like). I've seen horribly, horribly wrong stats on cars, even some 0-60 times as far off as 2 seconds! You just have to take everything you read with a grain of salt, so to speak. It's also a matter of gearing anything toward the masses, and not the niche markets. That's why we have shows like "My Classic Car," showcasing with a bunch of old cars, and no "My 80's Car," with cars like Fieros, Firebirds, Countaches, Esprits, and of course Deloreans, to name a few, which are all ignored by about every automotive show and magazine today. It doesn't justify lying, but they still do it.
