DeLorean Floatation Device

["Darin Wolf" <son_darin@xxxx>]

So far I may have the topic set in an akward idea. However, What I 
am about to suggest is in idle curiosity. I've heard rumor about 
how a DeLorean has a hard time of steering at a high rate of speed 
and I am curious. Noting the location of the engine, wouldn't 
common sense say that a suggested fix would be to tack on at least 
100 lbs to each side of the forward section of the frame in order to 
balance out the weight? The only drawback is that for every ten 
lbs. added, one mph is lost. It may be the 100 lbs. ratio however.

Also, I have read another topic covering how DeLoreans seem to have 
floated. Personally I don't know about some of you, but that sounds 
a lot like most chevy vehicles I've owned. It is a little known 
fact thought that Chevy does float longer than Ford. I've never 
seen a DeLorean float, but I would say that its better to have a car 
that floats than one you'll drown in. The only drawback to floating 
would be a raging river that would ultimately destroy the car.

Maybe one of us'll get a crazy idea and make a boat out of one, it 
certainly wouldn't be me, I have other plans involving the insane 
use of DMC.

Either way, if someone can tell me what the effect to the steering 
would be if the car was weighed down into a balance, I would 
appreciate the shared knowledge. My understanding is, that 
DeLoreans don't slip in the rear. Is this true?
