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!
