Does not compute. It was a piece of shit when originally made, why the fuck would they reproduce the exact same garbage?

Seems a cottage manufacturer in Texas is putting the DeLorean back in production.

Looks like they'll be asking just shy of $100k for a new one.

$100k.

For a car that's sub-150 hp stock, at 2700 lb. curb weight.

Yeah... no. I don't value my nostalgia that much. =p

you also didn't read the article very well because it clearly states that they will be re-powered

Hints are towards the ls motor, but i heard something about a small cube foreign manufacturer being considered

The plans are to re-power the car (i heard hints of domestic, ford or chevy and also that they were considering a foreign company)

The key is that they will be built with original parts that were purchased when they dissolved the company in the 90s? but upgraded with modern creature comforts

Sure its neat, but i think for 100k i would probably build 3 race cars and but a new pickup lol
