HOTTTCAR Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Tom I hope this does not offend, but it sounds you are a guy that would seriously enjoy a Stalker.
1turbofocus Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I think I would , It would look nice sitting between my Street 2000 Turbo Ford Focus 723HP and my Street 55 Chevy 1200HP 572 Inches LOL Tom
midgetracr Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 Tom, Wow! A 2453 HP garage! Awesome! My li'l old underpowered V8 Stalker would probably not feel to out of place between your other muscle cars It might even be willing to race them What times have you run with those cars at the drag strip? Your 1200 HP Chev ought to really fly if you can get the power to the ground! My Stalker ran a 9.94 second ET at 141.5 MPH. It should be quicker but I couldn't get a really good launch. High 1.5 to low/mid 1.6 second 60 foot times. It should be able to do better with that power to weight ratio. I need more practice. John PS: One secret to controlling lots of power is having a long throttle pedal travel. My Stalker has almost 4" of throttle pedal travel. Makes it easy to dial in "just enough" power. And it has "almost enough" power.
westy turbo Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Wow!!!! thats some nice ET times there, Got a vid from the stalker doing the high 9'ns? Tom, Wow! A 2453 HP garage! Awesome!

Z3 Stalker Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 John, I am glad you added the PS as I have never known you to say you ever had enough power LOL:)
7evin Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 John, I am glad you added the PS as I have never known you to say you ever had enough power LOL:) I was a little worried also.... LOL
7evin Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I have had serious discussions with about a dozen guys. They all seemed to have a wife problem, couldn't come up with the money or were afraid of the potential speed. No one said he thought it wasn't worth the asking price or felt he could duplicate what I built for what was being asked. I am thinking you need to write a book on "How to convince your wife to let you have a really cool race car and be happy about it" It would be a #1 seller world wide ! I would like an autographed one

If I had the talent to write and publish that book, I could buy a garage big enough to store all the toys I'd want AND the toys to fill that garage:hurray: Denise actually likes our Stalker and doesn't want me to sell it. I think she enjoys having us drive around on the street and seeing so many people gaulk and wave at us or give us thumbs up. After seeing me tumble end over end down a straightaway in my midget years ago, she also thinks this car is very tame. Westy, No video but I do have the timing slip which is posted on the http://www.photobucket.com/StalkerV8 website.
