delorean = coolest car ever

Hellzzz ya it was!!!

you made a time machine out of a delorean.....

I always wanted to put a groucho marx nose and mustache on one with a paint sprayer on it so it would "Sniff" all the white lines off of the road. When it runs out of black paint the car would shake violently from "withdrawls."

Get it???

I always wanted to rip out the V-6 and put in a big-honkin' V-8 with supercharger in one of those things. Now THAT'D be a De Lorean to drive!

De Lorean......Meet the Maybach.....an even cooler car!!!

i dunno, does the flux capacitor come standard on those models?

I'm not sure.....but this model can take the roof off for you....and the chauffeur has to keep the top on.

when i am rich and famous, that will be the car i drive.

You can drive it.......I will be in the back seat!!!

You can actually still buy the Delorian from the company that took the assets when it bellied up.
The have all the parts, they can build you the car.

Saw one driving down the street the other day, it was still in great shape!

That's because the body was made of stainless steel. Won't ever rust.

Ford GT90.

V-12

710 hp at the rear wheels

FOUR turbochargers

Special intercooling of the fuel air mixture

Burns 87 octane!

SMOG LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA!!!!

Hybrid Suspension

Aluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber construction

This car is just plain fast!

OMG thats hot.

i heart hardcore cars!!!

i always thought this was a silly lookin car. but i instantly think of lybian terrorists :p and drew barrymore getting barf in her hair. ;p

I like the hot rod way to a smexxy ride.

it's not easy but i've seen it done with different types of gm smallblock v8s. yes it makes the car much faster but handling suffers severely because the v8s are so heavy and screw up the weight distribution, particularly in the case of a gen1 sbc.

the "stage 2" engine from DMC is a nice option. it bumps the stock engine from 130hp to 200 and since DMC is the one that does it, the value of the car is not negatively affected. they also have quite a few bolt-on performance items.

unfortunately the flux capacitor was never available on the production version. too bad. someone could have gone back in time and told john delorean not to make drug deals.

Man I almost want to jump in on this thread to see if I can get some advice on my car. Its a 1972 VW Squareback (Type 3) Engine has been rebuilt but alot of cosmetic work needs to be done, along with a bunch of stuff in the car I honestly have no clue what it is for.

technically the delorean's body structure is fiberglass. the stainless steel panels are mostly for looks. in any case, stainless steel is really not a good name for the stuff. the alloy's high chromium content (11% or more i think) makes it more resistant than other ferrous metals but it will eventually rust or corrode.

if you bang up the stainless panels on a DMC12 it's a pain to get them right since slight imperfections are not hidden by paint or body filler. still a cool look if well-maintained though.
