    • @bobolulu7615
      @bobolulu7615 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Lotus didn't go for more power not because of the transmission, but for marketing reasons. The up and coming models had more power, so it would be foolish to put the esprit with the sage or more power to match the new vehicles. The UN1 box has no trouble holding the power. It seems that a few 5th gear failures from shaft overhang, labels every Renault box as weak, which they are not. Internet wives tales seem to be more popular than the facts.

      First of all that Lotus V-8 is a pretty small displacement engine as V-8’s go and it does not weight much more than the stock engine. And secondly it will not make the car handle worse. It would make the car more tail heavy of course and therefore it would tend to oversteer more but that could be compensated for simply by using slightly wider wheels and tires on the rear. And you would need them to be wider anyway to transfer all that extra power to the road.

      Giugiaro designed both the DeLorean and the Esprit.

    Would've loved to hear that LS model start. The deLotus was great.
    Thanks for posting. I think I saw you on one of GIV's videos. He loves the Time Machine.

    👍🏻 I wish DeLorean would have originally gone with V8 making over 300hp or so instead of going with a 130hp V6. A sleek futuristic sports car having more power makes sense. Makes DeLorean fun and fast not just for looks.

      In 1981 there was no V8 making close to 300 hp. The Corvette of the time was under 200.

      @@VegasShuffle There were plenty capable of making that kind of power at the time, but the two oil crisis of 73 and 79 (which lasted until the mid eighties) changed everything in terms of what manufacturers could make and sell. Everything was being detuned and crippled to cope with the times.

    Hi Bob, I have seen you on Tyler Hoover's channel. These cars are great. Is this the In-an-Out on Sahara? I am not from LAS, but try to visit at least once a year. Love to plan a trip when there is a good show in the area. I have been to Mecum's motorcycle auction a couple times now.

      This In-N-Out Burger was on blue diamond Road. The first and third Sunday of every month there’s a car show called gears and grinds. I highly recommend going to that one.

    Question sir. Do you custom all cars or do you make a movie car and know someone will buy it when it’s done?

      I'm pretty sure all his custom cars are built to order.

    Amazing little collection, engines look and sound amazing. My question is has anyone solved the creaking sounds inside the cars that ruins the driving experience of these cars.

    How do they handle with that much weight over the rear axle?

      It actually probably isn't that much extra weight.

    Wow ! If I get to order a Back to the Future replica from you Bob I’d like a combination of yours with that Lotus V8 twin turbo engine or at least that LS5 or maybe even an LS9 I wonder if that would fit? 😍🤣👏🏼✅🆒
