back to the future. wouldn't that thing be to heavy to float? all the stainless would weigh it down I thought.

The car is actually of fiberglass construction with stainless steel panels hung on the outside. The panels are not much heavier than normal steel panels, and the panels themselves only make up a small fraction of the total car weight. Although not as light as some small all-plastic sports cars, it is not overly heavy either.

To be exact, the total curb weight with a full tank of gas is 2712 lbs (1232.73kg) with a weigth destribution of 35% in the front and 65% in the rear.
