i was thinking the same things, i know nothing of these cars. but i do love it, especially being a scirocco owner

p.s.- i am fully aware of the flameage i might recieve as a result of the scirocco comment

Whats the value and how hard is it to find parts.... like body stuff I mean.

When driving your rocco, do you ever get the "Hey! Is that a real Delorean!?" comment? I sure do haha.

ya thats why i expect to be flamed, just because they share a designer and the front end looks similiar people cant seperate them somehow

ok here are some of the specs from my owners manual ( original )

130hp @ 5500 rpm
153 ft lbs @ 5000rpm
curb weight with full tank of gas 2844 lbs (1290 kg)

now the only thing i have to say is that yes it is slow as hell. but since i lowered it it handels like a dream.
I was racing a guy from work**he was in**2006 cls 500

( i know i was going to loose but its like going in to a bar a picking a fight with mike tyson just so you can say you survived a punch):kickass:

and he was killing me on the hwy but as soon as i hit the off ramp he didnt stand a chance. the posted speed was 60 km/h and i held nice @ 145 km/h, the ass end didn't get loose yet, and all the traction systems slowed him down in the**cls 500 to around 105km/h. that to me was a sweet victory, because anybody can go fast straight.


as far as parts, i can get anything i need out of texas. there is a plant down there that bought all the goodies from dmc when they went bust.
i found a little trim piece that i needed and it was only $4.00 and still in original delorean packaging.

any more questions feel free to ask!

below are some for sale all in U.S prices. mine was apprased @ $35,000cdn 4yrs ago. my car is all original ( the way i like it ) it shows some wear and tear but what you see is what you get.

Very cool.
Do you take it to any shows?

on a side note friends our mine just got married and moved to font hill.
Is it true that the shoppers drug mart is huge there?

[deloreandriven]

some local shows. but i dont like taking it too far because of the millage, i'm trying to keep it low only 11,000km on it**because if i dont resist the car would get that millage a month.

and yes the shopers drug mart is bigger than all of down town:rofl:

[Malachi]

[deloreandriven]
