The duration of the entire scene was not taken into account as it would result in a 0-88 time of either 11 seconds (counting from releasing the brake) or 36 seconds (counting from pushing up the throttle stick on the remote), which both do not match the mph-increment-timings at all. + +##### ▶ Real-life acceleration factor + +Since the DMC-12 wasn't the world's fastest car, its (real-life) acceleration figures might soon cause boredom if played in real-time as part of the time travel sequence with a speedo display.
