even with the garbage fuel, it only powers the flux capacitor. you still need tone of fuel to bring the car up to 88MPH. Which is 142KmH. 8 more KmH and the OPP will arrest you for street racing.

Isn't the fact that this car is stainless steel which makes this car a good investment and with a particularly long lifespan for a car?

If it's not stainless steel, I don't think that it's worth buying.

Actually, stainless steel is a poor choice for making cars. The main reason is because it makes the car super heavy. and weight kills the car performance. adding the fact that the DMC-12 is build like a porsh 911, with it's engine in the back. the car can spin very easily. on day to day base, I would imagine the car is very hard to control. and that means more likely to get into an accident.

However, the car is very unique. therefore, worth buying.

Thankfully they are updating the car with more modern parts. Other than the iconic value of the DeLorean, it's pales in comparison to other cars released during the same time period.

Of course, that's the American version of the car. Get a Euro version and then you get the see the true nature of the DeLorean

Actually, I've spoken with an owner of a DeLorean. It handles very nicely. Esp on the turns doing 90 miles an hour.
