Ken's Stalker V6

Recommended Posts

Being lurking and Stalking for long enough, so here goes.

 

The car is a Stalker V6 which I built over 2005. The car now has about 3000 miles on it and both I and my wife really enjoy taking it out for runs.

 

The engine is a Chevy V6 with about 180/190 hp, backed up by a 5 speed and a 3.73 rear end with a Torson limited slip.

 

As they say in the Blue Angels meetings, "Glad to be here, boss".http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/597613119_stalker212.jpg

re: the grille badge.

 

It's actually not a UK grille badge, as it first seems in the photo.

 

It's an after-market piece for Brit cars. They come in pairs and were normally affixed to either side of a car just in front of the doors.

 

It's a Union Jack with the word "Lotus" below it. I picked it up on the UK Ebay site. They had them for most of the British cars.

 

It's my "homage" to the original.

Thanks for the kind words.

 

I had different wheels on the car for the first year or so, but felt they were "out of character" for such a car. I also designed my own seats for the same reason.

 

The wheels are Superlites, which are an Australian version of the Minilites. Thankfully, the importer is about 100 miles from me.
