I thought they only work for Deloreans and your car would only go up to 85 MPH.

I just got mine. They fail to tell you that your car actually has to be able to drive and get up to 88MPH before it will work. /Stupid project cars not running yet.

Also the 1.21 gigawatts is a typical problem. I myself have to resort to the lightning method... Sucks.

This thing definitely should have had more R&D put into it before they released it to the public.

You've got to turbocharge it silly! Everyone that knows anything about flux capacitors knows they have to be turboed.
