Took my car out for its springtime shakeout drive. Pretty excited to get some miles on it here in NY now that the weather is finally nice.

      Oh for sure. I’ve seen some great mods (twin turbo, Northstar engine swap, etc) and with a proper engine, the car MOVES. You’re so low to the ground and the car has excellent handling, so it’s quite ready for more HP.

      I’ve seen two companies offering drop-in EV replacement mods and lemme tell you: it’s tempting. My Ioniq 5 does 0-60 in 4 seconds. The Delorean as-is does it in 12-13 seconds. So if I got the DMC to a ~6S 0-60, it would easily handle it and be crazy-fun to drive.

        EV conversion would be great. This way you could drive the powertrain with Mr Fusion as well, that would make time travelling less cumbersome.
