Dan, Start a new thread in the General Discussion section regarding your request. You'll get more feedback than posting in this thread.

. . . . and a Happy, Happy, Happy New Year!!!!:cheers::party::flag:

Nothing like a good drive after a break in the weather. I had the same experience Wednesday; near 70 degrees and nothing but sun . . . it was a great outing. :auto:

Chassis #85 gets a a few performance mods and a day on the dyno with SNL Performance in Ft Worth, TX. The last pic in the file is a video link for the dyno pulls. http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=24148

Congratulations, Daniel! Enjoy the build.

Sounding more like a bad scene from Groundhog Day; glad your not waking up every morning to fined yourself driving a Seven at "The Ring". :banghead:

I'm not much on the fuchsia, but the chartreuse is killer.

My previous Seven (Birkin) had a Raceline (wet sump) pan;,installed for clearance purposes only.

vicky verka . . . . vice versa . . . . or? But I personally like vicky verka.

scannon, Thanks for sharing. :cheers:

Here ya go . . . . . . . . :lurk:

I think he meant 'bad-to-the-bone' bad, not 'bad' bad. :jester:

Here's another video (probably already posted elsewhere also); V8 Stalker (M-Spec) at autocross. Eat up . . . :lurk:

I didn't realize this was a test? :svengo: Actually, it was a track day for Sevens.

Okay, I know this has already been posted in the video section, but worth a revisit here; a V8 Stalker and a V6 Stalker on track at MSR Cresson with other Seven type cars (Caterham, Birkin, Lotus). The track is a 1.7 mile cw course with the longest straight coming in a tad over 1/4 mile at 1,460'.

:lurk:. . . More! More!!! . . . :lurk: Anybody up for a round of Kum ba yah? :smilielol5:

Okay, I'm all out of popcorn, so let me poke a little humor at this thread. Here goes. Dang the luck! And I just did a dyno tune on my Stalker this past Wednesday (yes, really) after having added a head/cam package (yes, I did). Well, here are a couple of excerpts from the Caterham web site for the R500 and 620 R: Extreme performance is attained through cramming the engine bay with as many horses as possible - 263 of them to be precise. Mathematicians amongst you will have already calculated that anyone committed enough to strap themselves into the Kevlar race seats will be deploying a mighty 520 bhp-per-tonne with their right foot, capable of firing the car from 0-60 mph in just 2.88 seconds. Lurking at the heart of the car (620 R; my emphasis) is the same 2.0 litre engine as found in the R500. Except we Supercharged it. That's right, we have done the automotive equivalent of attaching a rocket to a missile. We've taken something really fast and made it really fast. Delivering a mighty 310bhp and a huge amount of torque, the 620 R is equipped with the sort of performance that is very hard to explain within the constraints of the English language or the laws of physics. What with the new manta (should that be ‘mantra’?), perhaps Caterham should consider changing the names of the R500 and 620 R to 506KG and 545KG respectively. Naming a car based on its HP/ton-weight sounds a bit egotistical . . . just sayin’. :rofl: Okay, seriously, we're all on this forum because we all enjoy the 7 concept. Regardless of manufacturer, engine size, weight or HP rating, these cars are fun and we come here to share our passion with like-minded enthusiasts. I can appreciate (and do) all types of 7's . . . . but I can't do a thing about another man's ego or his opinion of mine. Anyway, time for a refill. :lurk:

:lurk: Wish I had a Coke.

Oh well, Old McDonald was a bad speller too. Just ask the folks at Geico. :jester:

The now defunct Pontiac; for the most part, two separate grills openings throughout the years. BMW; again, two separate grill openings. Mercedes, to some extent; narrower bottom/wider top opening. Buick; while not totally consistent, Buick grills have been, and remain, a single opening with with vertical separators (for lack of a better term). Bugatti; primarily, a horseshoe design and very consistent. Aston Martin; not sure what the shape is, maybe a mustache? Maserati; who can miss the trident? If we can count trucks (semi types), how about Kenworth? Of course, Lostus 7; ya think? :jester:

OP . . . . Original Poster? :rofl:

Looks great, Jack. Enjoy. :cheers:

:ack: Say it ain't so, Joe. Say it ain't so. :svengo:

LOL! Guess I'm getting old; I actually did see 'just' a palm tree. But hey, great looking tree!
