Re: [DML] Delorean Top Speed 85 MPH?

[Louie G <louie@xxxx>]

Obviously you haven't done your homework very well. DeLoreans have a top speed of about 130 mph... still nothing terribly impressive... but better than 85 mph. All cars from the early '80s had 85 mph speedos... it was a federal law. DeLoreans also run about 9 seconds 0-60 (some figures suggest 8 seconds... others over 10 seconds...), and do roughly 17 seconds in the quarted mile @ 79 mph I think. Kinda grim numbers, huh? At least the cars FEEL fast when you drive them...
