xcarguy Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Referencing the orange striped V8 stalker above, is anyone familiar with this car? Or can anyone describe the driving experience (track) of a V8 in this chassis? rich, Here’s a link to some build photos for chassis #155: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=18717 The car as priced on Craig’s List a bargain. As for driving these cars with the LS power plants; spirited. Very spirited. Will depend greatly on your level of experience/confidence and the setup of the car. Here are some YouTube links for vids of Stalkers with LS engines: My channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCqN3RG-eqixUAmhJrmaoshw Mario Parker channel: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCzszMMsbI3D0KvkAj0ypehQ Stalker LS3 at VIR: Stig: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC_-OX1MZIRsuI5MtVBMxpAQ Edited March 25, 2018 by xcarguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 There are a few issues with the 2040-cars.com website, namely: (a) Sold cars are never removed (b) every so often you find cars sevens which are not actually for sale i.e. they are owned by a person I know who is not selling. There are 3 listed on the sevens page now. Scam sale or just a way to drum up some interest? © the prices for listings can be ridiculously out of line with markets which gives you the "is this genuine" suspicion. (d) the rest of the website has not been updated since 2014. Some people may have had success with it but I found it too sketchy for my liking.
