Stalker V6 Clubman
Stalker V6 Clubman
The Stalker V6 Clubman is a facsimili/replica of a Lotus Seven. The drivetrain is based on components from the Chevrolet S-10 two wheel drive pickup truck, as sold in the United States and Canada from the mid 1980s through the early 1990s. These components are plentiful, well built, and inexpensive. The primary motor is the General Motors 2.8 Litre 60 degree V6. Many owners/builders have opted for an alternative 3.4 Litre 60 degree V6 engine out of a mid 1990s Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird. The torque and flexibility of this engine and the overall light weight of the vehicle, 1400 lb (635 kg), combine to make it very competitive in autocross competition. It excels at acceleration, cornering, and braking. However, like all other Seven styled vehicles, its top speed is limited by poor aerodynamics.
