that is ture that the DMC-12 just haulted production (i guess thats what happens when the big man gets caught selling coke to save his company). and Yes the car is awesome. I've been looking around and there is a company out of texas. I think the link is
Delorean One that sells parts and refurbishes them to be sold. But the price is outstanding!
Nice Idea on the motor swap. after looking at the specs it is under powered with the original motor in it; I can only second your notion that speed is not important. . . . FUN is the factor
