DMC DeLorean S2 ’04

Although you have probably never seen on in real life everyone knows it from Back to the Future. One thing that is weird is this car says it is 2004 when the actual car came out in the early 80’s. I assume the GT6 version is a modern version or some special edition. Either way I made it into a 1/4 mile drag car. You might think that this car will be slow at drag racing since it only has a 500hp, but you would be greatly mistaken as I can easily put down an 8.5 quarter mile time. I even beat a 1000hp BMW M4 with it. Use NOS for the fastest times and start in 2nd and shift at 75mph. All the rest are at the red line. Without NOS start in 1st and redline all the gears. I love that you can hear the turbo spooling up and the turbo hiss when you shift gears. Makes drag racing a lot more fun. Also to me this car always looked just ok. I like the bare aluminum, but it just didn’t look that fancy to me. If you paint it a gloss red, yellow, blue, etc I sweat you will think Ferrari made it. It looks exactly like an Italian super car of that era once it has a nice coat of paint on it. I was very tempted to paint it, but left it stock to give it that Back to the Future look. I like that when you hit the gas off the line the tires smoke and it leaves the rubber burns in the toad just like in the movie. Don’t worry I kept the shift point at 75mph instead of the Back to the Future mph of 88 to make sure you don’t time travel anywhere.
