@wert1074 Basically a huge snow storm in their prime market, USA, caused all car sales, not just Delorean, to virtually stop. Delorean had no money put away in the bank and couldn't pay wages, and eventually the plant closed when they couldn't get more investment.
@TheTransam1977 bleh, its still faster than my 83 toyota tercel wagon...which tops out at about 105. 0-60 in about 15 seconds and 0-100 in Idk...took to long. lol.
@7779jesse No, you do YOUR homework, dumbass. It was 110-120, maximum. Don't come on here acting like such a know-it-all, cuz you obviously aren't. Speedometers always read higher that the car's maximum speed to allow for certain variables which may modify how the car performs. So just because DMC offers a 140 speedometer swap doesn't mean the car can actually do 140.
Yes that's the stock 130 hp V6. There are performance upgrades available for them though. I've been in a standard Delorean. It won't win any races but it's a great cruiser car. Plus you can get 28 mpg on regular fuel.
does the like seriously go out past 88? im not talking about time travel lol..im talking about like BOOM! ive heard that they can go around 140,its just that a law back then only allowed speedometers to go up to 85. is that true? or does it really give out?
Top speed for standard unmodified car is 120 mph. If you have a Stage 2 upgrade then it's 140 apx. The speedo went to 85 due to mileage restrictions. I'm a member of the Delorean Club of Fl. One of the guys in our club has a twin turbo on his Delorean. I don't have a Delorean yet, but i'm working on it!
He couldn't start the company back up because he couldn't get the financing. No one wanted to finance someone who got busted by the FBI even though he was never convicted. He never went to jail. The Delorean Motor Company in Houston TX and CA are currently refurbishing and restoring Deloreans. You can get a improved suspension and performance upgrade for the engine. The Stage 2 engine costs from $6,000 to $7,000. It has 197 hp and will propel the car 0-60 in 6 seconds.
Actually, DeLoreans do not get very good gas mileage for their engine size and weight. They use a mechanical fuel injection system that, though smooth running and reliable, is not very fuel efficient.
he was lucky but he doesnt have it anymore the buyer of the car is now lucky LOL I really want one so bad, but I live very close to the DMC Northwest because its in Bellevue where I live which I didnt know for 13 years since I lived here! so crazy after I found out recently. Ill go and visit the place and hope I get one someday.
Actually no, this ones a 34k mile car and they sort of had them figured out in 83', Still a volvo/peugot/renault motor though , reliable but not a ton of HP. Enough to move it out fine. I posted this video for potential buyers
@wert1078 the owner got BUSTED for drugs and u can buy them someone bought the wear-house makes them and sells them
