[DML] Re: Delorean Performance (as tested)

[Craig Clarke <newfies@xxxx>]

Dear Steve and all DMLers

I have Road & Track Dec '81
They give 0-60 - 10.5 sec
1/4 mi - 17.9@xxxx
60-0 - 158ft
80-0 - 260ft Overall braking - very good
lateral accel, 100ft radius - 0.772g
I believe it was a 5speed car they tested

I also have Car and Driver July '81
They give full specs on the car, but it is the manufacturers ratings

Hope this was helpful

Craig
Vin...to be determined
