That, too. I had a 350Z, which had 287 horsepower, and was terrifyingly fast...but, it also had the brakes, suspension, tires, and cage to match. It could stop faster than it could accelerate. I can&#x27;t imagine driving a car with 1975 brakes, suspension, and cage, with even more horsepower. Even though the Delorean is probably heavier than the Z, so its top speed is probably not more than the Z, even with more power; the ability to stop and turn are also reduced by the increased weight.<p>It really does seem like a very bad idea. Then again, people of the prior generation would seek out a 1968 Camaro or a 1963 Corvette Stingray, which could be, and often were, equipped with terrifyingly large engines. A Camaro or Mustang or other muscle car from the 60s, in particular, are kinda famous for being able to go really fast, but only in a straight line.<p>So, yeah, I just can&#x27;t see it. Even if I had that kind of disposable income, and even though I have on a couple of occasions considered buying a Delorean (when I was in my 20s I even looked at one, but it needed more work than I was willing to put into it), the factors that led to it being under consideration just don&#x27;t line up with a new one at $100,000. The one I was looking at was listed at $10k, and I think the seller was hinting that he&#x27;d take as little as $7k by the time I walked away. In short: As a project that didn&#x27;t cost a fortune and didn&#x27;t need to be a daily driver, it seemed like maybe a good idea.
