Shadow, that's not THE delorian.  it's DMC's "refit" version with a more powerfull engine (Porsche sized, i believe) it handled well and was a lot faster than expected in GT4, I hope it does well in GT5.

meanwhile, I did manage to get a non-reserve copy (and spent Turkey Day playing, as we didn't bother this year).  no-one had showed up at the Game Stop to pick up their reserves, so I bet they're all being saved for Christmas.

Then, it's probably John Z. DeLorean's original plan for the DMC-12.  The original stats for the car would've been far faster had they not had to reduce the horsepower to comply with emission regulations of the time. :P  I wish I had money, I can't even afford to rent it.

it won't do you any good to rent.  GT5 has to be treated like a full-on PC game.  permanent.

Well, if I can't even afford the $5-6 rental fee, then I definitely can't afford the full $50-60 price tag.

If you're in the US you could try GameFly, I'm not sure if our friends across the pond has a service like that though,
Have a look at my website MeteorCreations

Speaking of SLS I think they overpowered it just a tad... I was doing split-screen with a friend, I was the MP4-12C and although I was mauling him on corner entry, despite my Macca's significantly better power-to-weight ratio and superior weight distribution I was getting flayed on the straights and in corner exit by that stupid fat Merc and it's stupid fat torque!  :evil:

The SLS closer to the V12 Vantage that the MP4 or 458.

 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

SLS also has more balanced handling and 7-speed tranny.. and the sound.. oh, the sound.. still makes me giddy. :doh:

oh, and if anyone wishes to try racing with me, GTP_Leonidae_MFT is the tag.

:( Why do the B-Spec things have to be so boring and....crappy?  I wanna race, not watch the AI race.  But going through B-Spec is the only way to get the DMC-12....

that's why we call the AI driver in older versions "b-Spec Bob".  believe me, he's worse in 4 till you get him trained up right.  and that's with the old "stuck like superglue to the racing line" AI that caused so much aggrivation in 4 (the AI would punt or sideswipe you off the track just to stay on the racing line!)

Yeah I still remember being an idiot in GT4 & using the Gorilla Glue AI as bumper cars... course that was before Forza & model damaging changed the game

Is there even the slightest possibility that the DeLorean would show up in the used car dealership? :idk:
