TxCoyote Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 :hurray: Just ordered one of Dennis Brunton's Stalkers for my next project. He seems a great guy and the car is awesome! I am going with the Supercharged version and have already acquired a motor. 240 hp in a 1400 lb car! Wow! Anyone have experoence with these? I spoke with several owners and they all rave about them, and Dennis as well.
Al N. Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Russ- Welcome! I hear that John Meyers is putting out 400 hp...so beware. I spoke with Dennis today at VIR, he was his usual charming and funny self. There are several Stalker owners on the forum...I'm sure they'll be in touch. -Al
slngsht Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Stalkers are pretty impressive :yesnod: I have seen them from behind :lol:
Kitcat Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I was truly stuned at how great some of the Stalkers at the Dragon looked. And, man, they were fast!
TxCoyote Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Sounds like I made a good choice:cheers: I may need to thin the herd though as I only have room in the garage for 3. BTW, anyone in this group near Dallas?
xflow7 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Congratulations. :cheers: Haven't ridden in one yet, but the Stalkers I've seen have looked like a whole lot of fun. Welcome to the Seven-ing club. :hurray:
xromad Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Congratulations! As a Stalker Owner, I can assure you that you will be happy with your car. Lots of work ahead of you, but much satisfaction when you have it done. I know there are a couple near Dallas. All the seven owners I have met have been FANTASTIC people. I look forward to meeting you on the Stalker Forum and hopefully seeing you in person at a future Stalker Ambush. Brent S StalkerV6 #20
WestTexasS2K Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 The SuperStalkers are really fast and fun cars. I dont think you will be disappointed with the purchase. Since you are in the Dallas area you should come out to the Sevens Festival in Oct. We are joing a car show then Autocross on Sunday morning. I am sure there will be some Stalkers there plus you get to visit with other 7 enthusiast it is alot of fun. I believe that there is a message in the events section about it. If not PM me and I will get you the details.

lowflyer Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Congrats! And welcome to the "family". Once Dennis gets you all set up, you will be able to join the Stalker forum. There is a wealth of info and help for any issues you might run into during the build. The Super Stalker is a lot of car! I have a "normal" Stalker with a 3.4 and it's quick enough for me. See ya' on the forum Ken Edney Stalker #47

BTW, anyone in this group near Dallas? New member, and not an owner, yet, but longtime 7 fan. I'm in Fort Worth if you find you need a hand ... or if you're in need of a passenger when you finish up! -phil
TxCoyote Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Wow, the Stalker guys are a friendly bunch. I have gotten alot of encouragement sand offers of help. I cannot wait to get it and get started.
SR27.Seth Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I have to be the one to break the bad news to you: After getting your stalker sorted and learning to drive it- those other cars in your collection are all going to feel like your driving Miss Daisy in a heavy proverbial bucket of bolts- unless you have some spiritual connection with that XKE, I would stop the restoration in it's tracks- sell it on e-bay and put the money into your '7'- I am speaking from the experience of spending a few years (and $1000's of other peoples money) modifying perfectly good E-types to try to get them to handle 1/10th, no 1/20th as good as any 7. Personaly- I would keep the Alfa (for those cold days)- sell the rest. Are you building the Stalker or buying it 'ret to go'?
