"Marty, he's in a '46 Ford, we're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil."

[HerecomestheCalavera]

It doesn't hold up much better against a train either.

I don't think people realize just how safe this car was compared to it's contemporaries. The original concept was the DSV "DeLorean Safety Vehicle", which DeLorean wanted to be the first safety vehicle that didn't look hilarious and perform like a dump truck. Not all of the concepts made it in, but it was still much safer than any other sports coupe from designed in 1979, and probably was at least *as* safe into the early 90's

@pimpb0tt What they don't tell you in the crash test ratings is that even in new cars you are quite likely to break your legs at the expense of saving your organs and head.

F off, Emmett Brown

"...the IIHS tested a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air crashing head-on [with a 2009 Malibu]... The Bel Air's occupant compartment was extensively damaged... The driver dummy in the Bel Air recorded forces that would produce a fatal injury to a real driver. The car performed far worse than the [GM minivans] that were the worst performers of all time in the IIHS offset test... The Malibu driver dummy recorded forces that would produce only a minor foot injury"

Chunky & Heavy =/= Safe

@Stevegasm Do you mean the DeLorean is unsafe?

[heyheyscotty]

It's a beautiful car, yes, and fetches crazy prices these days. But wow, just wow. You would be king fucked if you crashed in this thing, no matter what speed. Either the cabin would cave your body and crush you like a pancake, or some of that heavy steel would slice you up nicely, not to mention in case of fire, it'll be almost like a pure oven in the thing. Agreeing with the bloke, a mere play toy, not a daily,

Thats what happens when you try to time travel but only reach 87mph just before the Indians!

[3Dtacos]

And ive always said that I want to get a delorean. Wrong decision. Well, maybe as a novelty, but not to drive.

[3Dtacos]

It would have been cool if there was a trail of flames behind it during the test and the license plate fell off and spun around.lol

[pimpb0tt]

Wow, that is really terrible. The whole passenger compartment folded in half. I'll bet a real driver would have both legs badly broken in an accident like this. Yikes!
