The DeLorean even got a head start there and still lost. Seems like the DeLorean didn't have any plutonium for its flux capacitor.

I need only here the sound the Charger makes to know who I'll root for. Hell, you can't even HEAR the DeLorean. As cool as I think they are, they never got up and went, various problems over the place.

**MasTaBlau** · 02-28-2007, 01:46 AM

fyi a stock delorean is only 130 hp and weighs like 2800 pounds of course its gonna lose

**siflversonemunk** · 02-28-2007, 01:47 AM

I never expected the DeLorean to even stand a chance. Its simply too heavy and underpowered.

**markkisil** · 02-28-2007, 02:04 AM

One thing I have always wanted to do is get a Delorean (maybe when I am a bit older, have more money) and get a decent engine installed in it.

**FLOMOUSLY** · 02-28-2007, 03:40 AM

Delorean = crap car built by a crook

**BluewayAllere** · 02-28-2007, 09:55 AM

Yeah, too bad the original number that they wanted was 200hp out of that 2.8L V6. Would have really ended up helping a lot.

**lXwVlTgO** · 02-28-2007, 11:19 AM

Check this out....I ran a parts search on the official Delorean Motors website. Type in 18851985 and hit search....

Cheap bastards, too.

**Oppofeescom** · 02-28-2007, 01:28 PM

I guess the Delorean never hit 88mph.

**Fertassa** · 02-28-2007, 02:39 PM

For all those that were wondering why Marty was having such a hard time out running the VW bus, now you know!

Never new that Renault V6 put that PUNY amount of power out.... I mean v6 should be at least 180bhp without even trying really. Such a waste, as aforementioned with a decent engine and replacing the lousy hydrallic arms on the gull wings then you would have a cool retro car!

**MasTaBlau** · 02-28-2007, 11:31 PM

yeah and also a stock deloreon can only go 86 mph or some junk apparently[rofl]

**b91ZmxzX** · 03-01-2007, 12:02 AM

Thus the struggle in the movie to get it to 88...

**siflversonemunk** · 03-01-2007, 12:53 AM

Actually, the Delorean should be capable of about 110 to 120mph with 140hp.

GM's 84-90 F-bodies with the 2.8L v6 had 140hp (same corporate motor) can truck upto 125mph or so after a while. 88mph is no problem for them. Though the limiter kicks in at 117mph. I've been there, so i know it'll get there if a little slow.

**CefGemYAffews** · 03-01-2007, 05:29 AM

a chevette tops out at 83 with 60hp. i've seen a full 100 in my 1975 malibu and that only has about 140hp.
