[DML] Re: [DMLDeLorean as 007s car?

["John Stiefel" <vjstiefel@xxxx>]

I understand that this is a DeLorean mailing list, but I have to respond to
the authors experience with a z3. I own one of these fine automobiles and
it is extremely fast. The onyl thing i can think is that he drove the
smaller 4 cylinder engine (now have a very powerfull six) that they had for
a very short time.

Sorry for the addition, any comments on this topic can be directed to me
personally.
