Gulf Racing DeLorean, really?
 

Well, it's a vinyl wrap but underneath appears to be a nice re-manufactured version of the famed movie classic car.
I guess if you are not a fan of the livery you can always go "Back to the Future" and not apply it in the first place.:hilarious:

If anyone really wants one this is on eBay now ->

what kind of performance figures was the delorean capable of achieving?

Actually I'm a huge fan of the livery. I just hate that piece of shit car! :lol:

120mph with the 5 speed. I just drove one today and it's fantastic! Very nice gearbox. You can get a aftermarket twin turbo kit for them and increase your top speed to 140mph.

^ It's fantastic? Where exactly?

The car was a blast to drive. It had just been serviced and had a new slave cylinder put in for the transmission. I wouldn't race a Vette with it, but it is a nice car to drive. The gearbox has a close pattern and shifts very easily. The reverse has a lockout. You have to lift up on the handle and then shift over to the left to into reverse. This car wasn't perfect as it's been sitting for years, but it ran like a top with no problems. Just take care of them and update them where nescessary and you have a reliable car

No. The car is absolutely horrifying. In every single way imaginable. It's slow, it's ugly and it's built by Americans. The only reason that car isn't on those "cars we wish we had forgotten" lists magazines do every other year or so is because it was on TV.

If by "very nice" you mean "the worst french POS transaxle ever made", then yes.

It's an interesting, quirky car, but it's something you buy as a conversation piece, not to actually drive in anything remotely resembling anger. Nice suspension (courtesy of Lotus), but dog slow with brakes made from billet butter.

:beingsick:

I would totally rock that around town with the doors up.
