[DMCForum] Re: 30 MPG DeLorean? (Revisited)

Wouldn't that be the "engineers' intent" then?  ;-)

But yes I did mean Lotus when I said "disigner", sorry Giugario!

After driving my car in the "stock" height and now lowered height, I can't see
why Lotus would have made it nose high. I'm just a novice driver and I think the
handling when lowered is far superior to the nose high height.

Anyone going to Eurofest that is sticking around for the Lotus convention that
would want to ask them. I'm sure some old-timer employees might be there who may
know.

That would be a appearance factor.  The claim has been
that the Lotus engineers designed the car to be lower.
