Working on my DeLorean I’ve learned that Hofstadter’s law is all too real.

Vin 4494 here! I’m guessing you’re an August ‘81 build then?

A bit bigger than a Gundam, but I restore/work on my 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 as my after-work hobby.

Either the window proportion is a sly nod to the Bill Collins prototype, or just plain incorrect for a DeLorean!

Otherwise fantastic :D

First off, 88 mph aint that fast, and that's the query I was answering. I was hitting about 80 tops, but that's because the stock DMC-12 has pretty poor acceleration. Grand-tourer marketed as a sports car, sadly!

Well, they never actually sold the car in Europe, but the plan was for it to have a 140 MPH speedo :) OEM 140 speedos are quite rare, but the modern DMCH made a reproduction run that are very nice. The metric-spec version has a 240 kph speedo.

No, the closest I got on the track in that footage was 79. Though I can assure you 88 ain't no trouble if you watch the other video where I spin out...

Wrong! They dubbed it over to sound meatier as the stock exhaust setup the DMC-12 has doesn't sound too sporty.

...but the car actually had a top speed of 130 MPH. The speedo restriction was just due to US laws at the time and affected more than just the DMC-12.

You've obviously never driven one then

This is an archive of source code and assets, not a development build of the game. As such, a test-kit can do jack.

I'll stick with my 1/1 scale DeLorean, thank-you!

Correction; Highest possible value representable in a signed 8-bit integer.

Ruffian Games also pitched a new Streets of Rage, that one must assume Sega turned down.

Certainly not the case in the UK. My missing final pay-cheque (and overtime) from Realtime Worlds can account to that.

Someone tried to steal mine! Though fortunately they were foiled by the door locks...but then just vandalized the stainless :(

How about we flip the argument on it's head; If you paid £11 for a ticket to go see a movie in the cinema and it had an inconsistent frame-rate would you care? Do you ever go out of your way to see films at a specific theatre because it has a better screen/projector/sound system? Do you prefer watching films in 2D or…

There are some great DMC-12 engine swaps out there... and this is not one of them. There is a reason this one was for sale at DMC-California for sooo long.

She's effectively my mistress already...
