The Outlaw Motorsports Garage tunes
DMC, DeLorean S2 '04, "Donnybrook"
Okay so here it was March 17th St. Patrick's day and ole Harvey Wallbanger decided it was time to tackle the only Irish car in the garage. Now at first glance your probably thinking oh no its an Irish version of the dreaded "Purple People Eater". I mean come on fairly short wheel base, weight bias placed firmly and heavily to the rear and oh joy, it starts out with 207HP and 222ft-lb of torque after just an oil change as compared to the fully tuned A310s 244HP and 189ft-lbs torque. Granted the stock DeLorean weighs 385kg more but still...Well of course by now you all know the Wallbanger and how given the chance he'll always opt to add as much power as possible and lose any unneeded fat so...into the bay went Paddy and ole Harvey got busy with the cutting torch and wrenches along with a wee bit O'the Irish passed along from one of his Godfathers don-cha know. When finished (with the car Dolt, there was still another 5th of the Irish left) the Wallbanger had managed to add 275HP and trim 217kg off the beast. Looking around he decided a quick drive up Trial Mountain was exactly what was needed in this fine example of the fighting Irish spirit now sporting a set of Sports Soft tires mounted on Shamrock green BBS RE-MG rims. (paint guns malfunctioned or maybe it was the Irish but ole Harvey's attempts at painting the car failed miserably
)
Anyways first lap around Trial Mountain beat the "Purple People Eaters" by over two seconds
amazing what some real power under the bonnet can do! With a bit of fine tuning to the suspension (and a wee drab more O'the Irish) and now singing "Those Irish Eyes" (off key and very badly) at the top of his lungs the Wallbanger set off again this time posting a best lap of 1:33.176! For anyone keeping track of such things at home that's over four and a half seconds faster than the "Purple People Eater". Now is this a wild cannibalistic drive like the Alpine? Surprisingly no as the car exhibits far better grip, well at least until you push it to its limits where as the name implies you'll find yourself in a serious donnybrook with the car where the front wants to understeer slightly while the rear wants to oversteer. Of course as any Irishman will tell you there's nothing like a wee nip and a good donnybrook to get the blood pumping and the lasses all a twitter
So grab a pint O'the Irish and strap into this "Donnybrook" so every day can be St. Patrick's day!

Note: While an automatic transmission works okay you should see definite improvement from using a manual transmission.
Note 2: For tracks where higher speeds are possible than at Trial Mountain adjust the Final Gear so the indicated top speed in the upper right is approximately 10mph faster than you expect to reach. That being said the car will never have a really high top speed so you'll need to make the most of its cornering abilities.
Enjoy the ride and as Harvey Wallbanger always says...
Drive hard and have fun!
