What he said. Except travel to well before the race, drive to the end, go back to when you went back, and BINGO!

You're not thinking fourth dimensionally, either. In order to get up to 88 mph, you have to be going somewhere. Therefore, you wouldn't be at the end of the track anymore. THINK, MCFLY, THINK.

can they get time that precise to win the race?

Just time it so that when you hit 88, you'll be at the finish line, and set the flux capacitor to a few seconds before the other guys get there.

You lose at time travel.

I said the General Lee. Only I know why and cannot, under Scandanavian law, reveal to you my knowledge.

Actually, I just wanted to say something silly, I voted the General Lee because it looks cool.

But you can't exactly predict when the other guy gets there, so you can't set your watch by it.

You have a time machine, of course you can predict exactly when the other guy is gonna get there, because you can go forward in time and watch him get there!

But then you create a paradox.

yes, as cool as it does look, which i rate at rather, it's a race. which would perform better.

Well, let me exlain how look can increase speed with this formula:

If looks=x

X=speed

See?

But that doesnt tell anyone how to icrease their [s]looks[/s] speed.

Well, if X=Speed then speed is relative to how it looks. So, if X=Sexy, then the sum of sexy is the cruising speed of said car.

an idea i partly thought. who would win in a race? time-travelling delorean, Optimus Prime, the General Lee or KITT? the DeLorean has time travel, but probably no use in a race. the General Lee was always being upgraded, though back then, the parts were from the early 80's, in a remote county in the south. KITT has turbo boost and shield functions, but turbo boosts are limited. Optimus Prime, well i don't really know. note: all contestants must stay in car form.

DeLorean, obviously. Just get up to 88 miles per hour and travel back to when the race started. You're not thinking fourth dimensionally.

Well, you have to take the driver into account. McFly's a slacker. But KITT...when competition gets involved, Mr. Feeny gets nasty.

what about them Dukes, them Dukes? and also Optimus Prime. have an idea, it will have to apply to all variables.

For me it was a tie between Optimus Prime and KITT but Ol' Primey won cause he's more high tech!
