Having worked at Hardin Olds, Honda and DeLorean...I got to see how poorly they were out together...they were worse than the 80's Olds as far as build quality....if you can believe it.Also it took forever to get parts! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

In any event, there was an episode where I think they raced a Nissan Altima or something against it and the DeLorean got crushed. It was slow as hell. Was amusing to watch. haha.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
I used to park cars at a few of the casinos here in Atlantic City and got to drive a few of these when new and they were slow as hell and handled like crap. Looked pretty cool, I must admit, but I think a Yugo would give it a run for it's money in a race.
