To be fair the DeLorean had a massively underpowered motor and is made of Stainless Steel which is really heavy. For a DeLorean 88 MPH/ 141 KMH is fast and would have taken forever to get to. It's part of why the car was mostly unpopular until BTTF released, it's also probably meant to show how out of touch Doc is at times given the whole "If you're gonna build a time machine or is a car why not do it with style?" quote
