Despite being a bit of a dog mechanically, the styling is phenomenal and it's kind of a curse that it will forever be "THE CAR FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE OH MAH GAWD!!" instead of one of the design triumphs of an era. I love the direction Matt Farah is going with his. No stupid BTTF crap, just a nice clean DeLorean with the suspension sorted, engine nicely tuned and everything done the way the car should have come from the factory.

NitroSpazzz posted:At first glance I thought this picture was mid power slide "testing tires" then realized it was parked...so disappointing. Perhaps you'll be less disappointed to know that it weighed ~10 tons, had two Chevy 350 V8s, could reach 180km/h and was specifically designed to test truck tires until explosive failure. The back of the car contains an entire testing rig powered by one of the V8s, designed to severely mistreat truck tires until they either exploded or blew off the rim.
