MightyMike Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I will get the car in June. I ordered a roller (no eng & trans). Options chosen were Wilwood brakes and fuel line kit. As far as the motor goes, I haven't decided. A LS1 or L33 seems the most practical given the tire size limitations, but an LS3 would be cool just because. Specs from the website; including weight, follow... http://www.bruntonauto.com/stalkerv8specs/stalkerv8specs.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberbug Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I was asking about your Birkin whic you will be selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 The Birkin makes approximately 150hp and weighs in the neighborhood of 1200 lbs. I haven't had the car on a dyno or put it on the scale, but drew my conclusion from similarly outfitted Birkins. The car has a stock fuel injected silvertop 2.0L Zetec.

Mondo Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I take it the larger size helps with the back... now you'll just have to worry about your neck when you mash the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine7 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Mike, Fantastic job. You've created a one-of-a-kind car. I know exactly what you started with and the end result is stunning. Good luck with the sale. Lets hear more details on your Stalker as she develops. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well you picked a great time to sell... when it's still cherry from the rebuild & summertime. It is one of the sweetest 7s out there. Can't wait to see what personal touches you have in store for the Stalker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rss Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've spent the last 15 minutes just staring at those pics. That's just a beautiful build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm sad to see this car up for sale, and even more sad that I can't buy it. Mike, when I first set eyes on this car, I was in awe. It's one of those cars that made an impression on me, and has played a part in many of the decisions I make in my own build. This car will undoubtedly make someone very happy. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Duane, Thank you for the kind words about my Birkin. Much of my inspiration came from other members of this forum. My Stalker arrives next week, so I am very excited about that. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
