Brand new they were not that great, understeer, French V6 (gutless) and tough to work on. Interesting concept and nice stainless body which some painted to have a diffent look. Not everyone wanted a stainless color car!
A few years ago, there was a DeLorean running around NE Columbia.
One day, I saw it sitting in a parking lot y itself. I stopped and talked to the owner. He bought it from a guy in the army. He said it was a lot of work to keep it going.
I looked inside. Too tight for me.
A DeLorean with a 300 to 400 HP engine might be interesting.
But, youre right, no Renault engine. Ford and GM make some fine 6 cylinder engines today.
Volvo V-6 POS Engine. I had the displeasure of fixing one after it got overheated and warped the heads.
The Head bolts are Stretch & Degree Torqued. They want the entire set replaced after taken apart. The car was a trade in at the Grey Market Euro Import Dealer I worked for. The cheap bastide owner wouldn’t pay for new bolts. I told him NO WARRANTY on My work and it will be in a Legal Document if I put the old ones back in.
Coddled together off shelf parts pile to make the POS. Robbed GM,Volvo,British brakes,BOSCH and LUCAS (Prince of darkness) wiring and I forget what else..
I’m thankful that I only had to work on that one, one time.
