DeLorean vs Porsche 911: The Ultimate Rear Engine Showdown

[@_financial_regret_]

I'd still take the DeLorean any day of the week

[@nkkollaw]

Big time. I'd still take the DeLorean any week of the year, too.

[@flyingmako]

From a fellow DeLorean owner (1844) over in the Colonies, thank you for putting the time, effort, and professionalism into making these videos. Living in Miami, I see so many high-end modern sports cars but (true story) when a red Ferrari 458 Spider is following on your quarter and the drivers lady friend is taking photos of your D, then you know you have something extra special.

[@RUNDMC1]

Thanks Christian - it’s good to know the effort that goes in is appreciated! And you’re exactly right about the Ferrari - nothing else gets attention like the DMC 😊

[@geo86able]

Exactly why I parked my Delorean! Too dangerous of a car for a young Married Man!

[@dvddmc]

Got to drive my uncles Delorean yesterday i have to say to me it has plenty of power and it puts a smile on ones face when you do drive it

[@RUNDMC1]

That they certainly do!

[@authenticmototravels733]

I love this and enjoyed it thoroughly. The final calculations at the end made perfect sense to me. For my money, a DM-12 please.

[@RUNDMC1]

I’m expecting a world of abuse for the final maths - thanks for being surprising 😊

[@everydaychris5597]

This is the most stellar and entertaining video I’ve seen all month! (DMC for ever and ever)

[@RUNDMC1]

Thank you Chris!

[@flyingtilliamdying]

Another great video! Still loving my DeLorean, and loving more the happiness it brings to so many people.

[@RUNDMC1]

You’re exactly right - the car spreads joy all by itself!

[@gavinmccaffery7975]

The DeLorean just looks special . Really enjoyed this . Good fun watch and very informative

[@RUNDMC1]

Thanks Gavin! No idea why this film is struggling for views, took me forever to make!

@@RUNDMC1 I will share it Came highly recommended by Jos, and rightly so . I love the DeLorean story . Legend through failure!

Bought my 83 D in July 2000 for 9500 USD. Good buy :) Delivered pizza with her for 2 years until 2002. Still drive her regularly 22 years later

[@RUNDMC1]

Great tips - nice one! You’ve had your D even longer than I’ve had mine!

[@4035andrew]

Please keep making delorean videos so that I can get my fix until my wife let's me get one.

[@godinacape]

I second this comment.

[@ShepTheCreator]

Did you ever get it?

[@RetroPlus]

This is such a well produced video, really great work

[@RUNDMC1]

Thank you! For some reason this film hasn’t really found the views yet - don’t know why!

[@markgurney4659]

Came here for 996 40th Anniversary content and came away with an appreciation of the DMC-12, I always thought they were an electrical nightmare and best avoided but this video has grabbed the essence of how these cars can get under your skin. Great video and extremely well produced, many thanks!

[@RUNDMC1]

Thank you Mark! That’s exactly the point with the DeLorean - it’s not about objective numbers or clinical analysis, rather the subjective stuff which it does rather better! 40AE a great car too obviously 👍

[@birdman7135]

A Delorean looks 10 times better than a Porsche 911.

[@karlhurn]

Another great Delorean video. Nicely produced, great work 👍👌

[@melanieolmsted6740]

I think you add a point for the vintage style tropical shirts. Definitely.

[@richardmock3198]

Looking well gez, and that V6 sounding sublime 😁👍

[@RUNDMC1]

Thanks Rich! Didn’t sound that sublime ragging 3rd up the hill! 🤣

[@stockholmdelorean5691]

You did it again Gez! Fantastic production, loved watching it. I need to improve my sunglasses collection.

[@RUNDMC1]

Haha, thank you! Glad you approved of the gratuitous selection of cheap retro sunnies 🤣

[@sethfericks3130]

My only problem, that's not a 1981 911. Still loved the video, but are modern cars and old cars really comparable, especially when it comes to heated seats?

[@RUNDMC1]

No, not really. But it’s quite hard getting hold of a 1981 911 SC during a global pandemic :) It’s more about comparing the lineage and what 40 years of development can do for rear engine design.

[@jontyII]

Great vid! Btw I solved the warm start after many years of trying. It turned out to be a wearing distributor and rotor.

[@RUNDMC1]

Funnily enough I’ve got a new dizzy arm and cap (and HT leads) ready to go on - will be doing a film about the various ways to break your DeLorean whilst trying to fix it next 🤣

[@Carp5586]

Nicely done, Gez! Although I absolutely love the 911, I’m still sticking with my DeLorean for life! Cheers - Matt & 5144

[@RUNDMC1]

Thanks Matt! 🤣

[@RUNDMC1]

Heinz Guderian Thank you!

[@scootinhootin6928]

Rented both a 911 and DeLorean, all I can say is the Porshe handled better but it didn't catch as many eyes as the DMC-12 did.

[@RUNDMC1]

Exactly

[@geo86able]

It's so nice to know that you are one of maybe 7500 owners in the world!!!

[@RUNDMC1]

Only 1963 if you’re a 40 Jahre owner!

Someday, Jennifer... Someday.

Someday Hedgehog!

[@tonidmc]

Great but maybe more 81 Porsche info could have been more useful to keep the minds of the audience in perspective if you use a modern 911

[@fairyball3929]

Omg, nice to see you back!

[@RUNDMC1]

Thank you, been a while! Not going to be as long for the next one :)

[@J.T.Poconos]

Another great and informative Delorean video. I and going to order myself one - in mustard yellow. Where’s my nearest showroom?

[@ArnaudShanghai]

Nice video, but would be even better to compare it to a 81 911SC. (BTW I finally received my Delorean....!)

[@ollieger640]

I'd have the DeLorean

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

totally unfair comparing a 1981 car to a car from the mid 2000s, should have been compared to a porsche from the same era, the DeLorean would have won fair and square cuz the only thing those old air cooled porsches have on it, is performance, luxury, ride, cool factor, handling, its all better in the DeLorean.

[@RUNDMC1]

I’m sure where you come from, 1981 911SCs are in every corner drug store, but in a global pandemic they’re a little hard to come by.

i m the proud owner of an 82 automatic. YES its not the fastest car but thats the last thing I care about. I dont need to impress any person by how fast I can go into corners.

[@RUNDMC1]

Whip that cat out if you haven’t already! But I agree - you don’t own/drive a DeLorean to go fast :)

[@AlexxMichael]

@@RUNDMC1 The cat will be gone in October when I get the new UK exhaust. If I wanna go faster I use my 87 C4 Corvette. Both are my dream cars and I dont care about new cars cause they are either boring or cost 195.000 Euros. Plus I always wonder how all those electric gremlins will act in 10 or 15 years on those newer cars. If there is one other car I would love to own its either a Lotus Europa 1970 or a Bond Bug haha

[@RUNDMC1]

@@AlexxMichael 87 Corvette - YES!!!

[@DeloreanGuy2]

Good video but I gota agree with a lot of the other commenters. If it was hard to come by a 1981 porsche, then why compare a delorean to a porsche that's 25 years newer for a video? Not fair just based on them both being rear engine cars. No challenge when comparing modern suspension parts and materials, manufacturing, electronics etc. The reason for the low views is probably because when people see the picture of the video they don't see comparable cars. I'd make a true comparison video with a 1981 porsche and see what you get. But I do love your math at then end and thought it was a great video really showing the true characteristics of the car!

[@RUNDMC1]

Why compare it to one 25 years newer? Because you can see how the engineering of rear engined cars has evolved over time. Because I could. And it’s fun!

[@DeloreanGuy2]

@@RUNDMC1 sounds good to me!

[@karlbergmoser4245]

i compare vehicles from the same period or the air-cooled with the water-cooled porsche. but not because the engine is in the back. Just my opinion. I have both. ;-)

That’s how we say it in the UK! Adding the -er sounds a bit wanky (to us)

Exactly!!

[@lachlansmart2373]

It would be more fair to compare the same era 911.

[@RUNDMC1]

Couldn’t get hold of one in the middle of a pandemic. Sorry!

[@touraneindanke]

This is NOT a 1981 Porsche 911. The 911 by 1981 had 50 years + developing done. The DeLorean only 18 months! A now (40 years on) fully updated DeLorean is something totally different. Spending Porsche money only a DeLorean can really makes you LIVE THE DREAM 🍀

[@RUNDMC1]

I do make that distinction in the film!

[@justinpriest7758]

Not a fair comparrison. 2004 porsche against 1981 dmc..a little like comparing a vc commofore to a vy commodore. delorean all the way❤❤
