Maybe a Stage 2 kit from DMCH...

And if you're really talking money no object then I'd hire Lotus to redesign and refabricate the front suspension :-)

I'd buy an aston martin db9.

I'd also have a totaly new chassis built to fit a delorean body, with proper suspension, proper engine etc.

I would buy USF1 (probably pretty cheap t.b.h) and re-brand it as "DeLorean F1". Bribe the FIA to allow a DeLorean within the rules, possible install a rear wing with Dan's DeLorean Club banner on it (gotta keep them sponsors happy!), then hire Dan as my star driver and go racing with Schumacher! ;)

Stage 2 is uprated cams, pistons, fuelling & exhaust, possibly some other stuff. Gives 197bhp according to DMCH.

Bagsy the team-mate spot in the other mobile chicane :D

Seriously though, DeLoreans in F1 would look silly (!!) - how about buying an existing GT team and designing a chassis to drop a DeLorean body on and race it in GT-racing? Rock it out (and be competitive-ish) at the Le Mans 24 hours... awesome :lol:

I'd buy myself some free time to allow for more DeLorean driving when the weather is nice. Or invest in weather control systems.

But seriously, If I had the money, I doubt I would enjoy it so much.

I would be too busy enjoying my jacuzzi on the top of my big yacht cruising around the caribbean enjoying the company of many fine looking ladies to worry about re-brushes 8-)
