You are the one "on the line".
Nespadh
This looks like you have less control on the door. It almost it the other car.

I remember they were fiberglass which shatters i stead of taking an impact

Not a tesla

That DeLorean pretty much licks the SUV's side panel.
geiokami
But it's a delorean so it doesn't run anyways

Tall hit their head getting in short people tend to whack their heads when closing them. Gullwing doors suck for both tall or short people
jweenypwee
For those who care. Top speed is over 120mph even with 130hp. They get 30 mpg. They are reliable if driven regularly. Owned mine 17 years.
jweenypwee
Tortured it delivering pizza for 2 years. Just maintain your damn vehicles. Still runs great after 35 years out of production.
dontsaydoingyourwife
130 hp. Never meet your heros...
TheHankster
Never catch your heros either...
geiokami
When it actually works*
HeadlessNorseman
My dad delivered cars back in the day and told me they were uncomfortable, and sucked ass for power.
FancyFrance
LS swap. Game over.
dontsaydoingyourwife
Yeah, you're probably right, the Chevy small block seems like a winner, but if you actually did this, you'd need some better brakes, too.
snowfork
I heard of a kit to use a Chevy 4.3 or something. Made them easier to stomach.
Canofminus
There have been a number of swaps using LS series, NorthSta, Ford Superchaged v8's, Buick Twin Turbo, VolvoT6's, and Subaru 2.5 STI engines.
dmil103
That's the same as my Focus I believe.
whatspaulplayingtoday
I dunno, man. I met Bruce Campbell, and he was pretty awesome.
dontsaydoingyourwife
*heros other than Bruce Campbell. Sorry, please meet him, that's totally a good thing to do.
whatspaulplayingtoday
That's totally fair.
ChloeRed
Still about 70hp more then my first car...
ChloeRed
(and my second.. and 3rd, and equal to one of my current cars ;)
intashu
30 more than my Saturn on a good day.
dontsaydoingyourwife
It still wouldn't run rings around you.
intashu
But it would look 10x cooler while doing it.
LumpySpaceBrotha
88mph is actually it's top speed
orangechrusch
My car only has 138hp (when it was new) and I can get up to 133mph
jweenypwee
I own a DMC. Top speed is 120mph+. Power-to-weight ratios are a thing.
LumpySpaceBrotha
Okay, take me seriously, then. It's not like I was making a back to future joke or anything.
jweenypwee
Oh I got it, but soooome peeps might actually wonder the actual figures.
Flexster74
All cars should have gullwings.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Or wider parking spots... jus sayin
FluentPenguin
All gulls should have car wings.
yesiamaphysicist
Gullwings have problems with low ceilings and not being able to get out if the car rolls over, among others. Suicide doors are better.
Derbicus
I thought they were designed to pop off after the car came to a halt and it was inverted.
yesiamaphysicist
On the SLS AMG they pop off. DeLorean had kick out windows. Tesla X has normal doors in the front. It's a pain for car designers.
Cantalk
Agreed. It is a safety issue though. Mercedes had to install explosive bolts on their SLS in case of rollover
ZimGenzko
My dad had one until summer last year and as fancy and amazing that car is the gullwings are really impractical in everyday life.
ProfessorExpert
And also out of curiosity... did he switch over to another glorious creation brought to us by German wizards with engineering degrees?
ZimGenzko
No Italian for a change but we still value and have German masterpieces of engineering in the family.
at1mp
How so?
ZimGenzko
Parking spaces mostly. And it's a sportscar an my parents are getting older so it wasn't really comfortable and enjoyable to drive longer
ProfessorExpert
I envy him, I absolutely love the SLS... did he make money on it? Curious because from a car meet/show I want to it looks like value went up
ZimGenzko
Actually I'm not sure, I'd guess so but I don't really meddle with his financial affairs and all that.
ZimGenzko
Edit: I just asked him and he said in did indeed increase in value
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I should get a deLorean.

sda7
Did you know that there is a factory that builds brand new delorean, with old stock parts. That's true.
DustinSchroder
The company is owned and operated in Houston Texas. DMC of Houston.
Jamerperson
You can buy a brand new one. The manufacturer still makes them on demand.
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
lol I wish I could afford that!
Quipman
Change the engine and pretty much the rest aswell
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
The engine is not why I'd want that car :-)
BoofBoofPass
My neighbor has one rotting in his yard. He doesnt even like them, just bought it cuz he know theyre rare.

SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Ask him if he wants to give it to me, and send it to me in Denmark :-)
IamAMON
I want one, so i can immediately customize it BTTF style
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Immediately? There's no such thing. Doing a good BTTF customization takes a long time :-) Worth it though!

Volvo and friends made that 'family vehicle tier' engine.
scottyvDMC1981
Incorrect - they were limited to 135. Even though the speedo says 85. But, yes underpowered and took a while to get there.
FancyFrance
That's why you LS swap it.
Jamesbaxster
Is it a good car with an LS to actually drive? I wouldn't want to do a project like that then not want to drive it daily for 10 yrs
FancyFrance
It's the way God intended it to be!
thegreatninjaman
but but but... how will they go 88 MPH then!
xrufus7x
seems reasonable that the doc made some after market modifications.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
88 < 100, or so I've been told
thegreatninjaman
i was referring to the older models lol
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Oh. Then downhill.
