Re: [DML] Re: New Delorean production....

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One small point: Until the V8, Lotus used someone else's engine in all 
their cars, albeit often modified. Not just the Esprit - The Europa had 
a Renault engine, the baby Elan had an Isuzu engine, the Elise started 
with a Rover engine and now has a Toyota lump etc...

BTW also your point about the suspension being adjustable - we're only 
taking toe, castor and camber which would need to be adjustable to suit 
racing. The DeLorean wasn't meant to be raced and was mass produced, so 
a non-adjustable setup made sense IMO.
