Iam not sure which won but iam guessing the charger did because it was a straight track, a mini cooper could destroy a Charger on a track with loads of turns. I still think the DeLorean is a better car.
alright i'll admit, the delorean would beat it in a corner, but in my opinion, the charger is better, because i love muscle cars, and the charger is one of the best.
i think in a street race they might be up and up the Charger would destroy the Delorean on a straight away but the Delorean would destroy the Charger on a track with lots of turns
@Liltrick28 lol i dont think the delorean is much of a performance car though so it would be slow as hell in cornering, similar to a honda accord probably
the delorean is would get beaten on the corners as well by the general lee, cause the engine in the delorean is underpowered(131 bhp), unlike the charger(stock:425 bhp) which makes the delorean slower than the general in the corners.
um, yes, but after the Charger takes the lead, once the Delorean reaches 88MPH, it will "skip over" the rest of the race to arrive at the finishing line; albeit, with the General Lee still the winner.
Great cars, but a race between the two is like a fight between a 8th grader on the wrestling team and a ufc champion. Although with some modifications, even the slowest cars can surprise you.
About the proper replacement engine for the Delorean, the best matches I've found are the Buick GNX 6 cyl. and the Lotus Esprit V8. I did all I could with the stock PRV but without NOS, it's difficult getting past that 225 hp mark. Getting a powerful, compact V8 that's not heavy enough to throw off the Delorean's fragile center of gravity is a challenge. The Lotus twin-turbo 3.5 does it best.
In fact, before John Delorean got shut down for false accusations, he wanted to put the engine found in the Grand National, the 3.8 Litre turbo V-6, now that would kick ass!
People always think that the DeLorean is as powerful as a Corvette or a Porsche, but the reality is that it has a shitty 130hp PRV (Peugeot, Renault, Volvo) engine. However, the engine "sounds" that were dubbed over the real engine in BTTF came from a Porsche engine.
@XTheOxiCleanGuyX As far as I know they put Porsche engines into the BTTF DeLoreans. The engine sound is some smallblock V8. But even putting a Porsche engine into a DMC12 is true to form because the design of the body was initially intended for a Porsche.
Sexy car that Delor is, but no contest if you put it up against a '69 Charger, who sounded sexy as it took off and effortlessly beaten then ate that Delor for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The driver of the Dodge probably let the Delor get a head start, knowing with that much horsepower under his hood, it'll be over all too soon.
i feel like i'm the only same person watching this video when i see all the comments about deloreans being cool... what part of shitty french v6 combined with cheap everything that was so prone to breaking u might as well buy an alfa romeo for the reliability...
@flamejame the gull wing doors and the awesome look practically make it worth it, and you you can afford one, you can afford to make whatever engine modifications necessary to kick the v-r into shape.
@HasThisHappenToY0u the guy who designed the esprit designed this too. Delorian got help from lotus designing it. It also has the same 'backbone' chassis as an esprit
@VTS1337 Backbone is a layout, not a chassis in itself.
It's impossible for them to be the same. The Esprit is mid engined, whereas the delorean is rear engined. at minimum, it would require complete re-engineering of the back end of the chassis for the engine to fit.
To counteract the different weight distribution, the front would also require a lot of work.
@richardmaudsley77 OK, you sound like the kind of guy who knows what you're talking about...so i'm going to beleve you. But look at this: as I quote: 'Examples of cars using a backbone chassis include DeLorean DMC-12, Lloyd 600, Lotus Elan, Lotus Esprit and Europa.'(wiki) also the delorian chassis and esprit look very similar...
Obviously you don't know, that IS most likely a 1969 Dodge Charger, hard to tell from the video quality, and people have modified it's mopar cousins ( superbee , coronet, GTX ) to look like the "General Lee" The Charger isn't a new car, it's been around here and there since 1966. The 68-70 version is my favorite. And it most likely ate the DeLorean alive...
Needs another cam down at the end, but for what its worth it looked like that Charger blew by the Delorean even after giving it a head start. No suprise there. A 2.8 PRV is no match for what I am assuming is a 426 Hemi in the Dodge.
Deloreans are cool , and a little more affordable, but I really like the lotus esprit. I think that It would have made a pretty sweet back to the Future time machine as well as the Delorean. But the Delorean will always be one of my favs.
@davektm5257 Remember when they were made, right in the middle of the gas crisis. It was one of the first fuel injected cars though. It had competitors such as the weak 305 at the time. It was quick only at that time... Delorean knew it was underpowered and searched for a real solution, one that did not increase fuel consumption. The solution was to turbocharge the Delorean. He sold some turboed, and then had a twin turbo prototype by some company I believe called Legend. What could have been...
@2muchreality4u Well i guess if I had a delorean I wouldn't want to go to fast in it , and take a chance of wrecking a classic. The car seems to be made more for comfort and to save on gas rather then be a racer! although i've seen a few v-8 engines ,and some pretty quick Deloreans here on you tube
@Ediranii Lol, you're an idiot, considering aluminum*** is far lighter than stainless. Stainless, and aluminum both don't rust, stainless has a much higher temp threshold but, no car would get hot enough for that to make a difference, therefore aluminum is better for the production of automobiles.
@Ediranii no its not. Chargers aren't made of aluminum.. that would make them outrageously expensive. And dont try to BS me, i have a 1970 RT SE charger in my garage.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
all u jackasses that love deloreans a 350z is just everything a delorean could never and will never be might as well change your love in a newer better direction dorks
lol,agreed!!! a 350z looks like a wannabe vw bug! and its BY FAR the ugliest Z ever made! the older ones were great looking...a delorean is beautiful and its because of its LOOKS that its still so popular!
@86collind a 350 z is an egg looking datsun with a made in china engine and that will be a banger racer in 15 years.the delorean is a rare vintage car that is not real fast but looks better than your japnese toy.
u seriously need a reality check z has been around longer than delorean and will never die and if it's such a rare gem why does it have such a peice of shit engine and it looks terrible it is one step up from a pontiac fiero ok maybe just half a step sorry but put my z next to your delorean and i will be leaving with the pussy u will be leaving with 25 virgin nerds (guys) following u down the highway to watch u top out at 80 mph hahahah sorry bro...
@86collind the fact it's rare doesnt mean it's got to be fast. people are obsessed with speed on the track and handling. im sure more people look at a delorean thaty your z melon. and i dont own a delorean, but i would be happy if your z met my srt8 challenger, that is more powerful, cheap, exclusive, quality made, good looking, better sounding, faster acccelerating, and people loook at it when i pass by. not like your made in china toy melon.
@AZDLP dependes on how much youve put in your camaro. my challenger is stock except the data in its computer have been downloaded into a computer, modified and put back into the car, now it produces over 500 hp. we havent measured it yet, but it will be around that.
1.21 Gigawatts!?!?!?!?!? Guess they didn't have enough bananas for the Mr. Fusion. Awesome cars, though. I hate it when I see people paint DeLoreans. That look is a trademark.
The Charger may have won the race, but the Delorean is still the sexier car. I wish the Delorean would get more respect! Who cares if it wasn't the ultimate haul ass car. It's still awesome in my opinion. And you can get one now from the new Delorean Motor Company with new/unused parts and a stainless frame. You can also upgrade the engine with a stage 2 performance mod with 197 hp.
NAh fuck that I give that a good ass rating and ask people that think that its a piece of shit then they should it prove it in person side by side car and then we'll see who the tough car is. Period
