Took my car out for its springtime shakeout drive. Pretty excited to get some miles on it here in NY now that the weather is finally nice.

I imagine it would be real fun with some good performance mods.
Oh for sure. I've seen some great mods (twin turbo, Northstar engine swap, etc) and with a proper engine, the car MOVES. You're so low to the ground and the car has excellent handling, so it's quite ready for more HP.
I've seen two companies offering drop-in EV replacement mods and lemme tell you: it's tempting. My Ioniq 5 does 0-60 in 4 seconds. The Delorean as-is does it in 12-13 seconds. So if I got the DMC to a ~6S 0-60, it would easily handle it and be crazy-fun to drive.
EV conversion would be great. This way you could drive the powertrain with Mr Fusion as well, that would make time travelling less cumbersome.
