The Brunton Stalker's for<20k are generally the ones build with 3.4l camaro engines. Mine is a Super Stalker with the SCed 3.8l engine from GM. 275hp/300ft lbs.

The Brunton owners have a private Yahoo group, but call them up and ask as many questions as you like. They spend 1.5 hrs chatting w. me, and I bought a USED car. haha. awesome bunch of owners too, they fixed my car plenty of times while at their annual get together.

I was curious as to which car was right for me, so I started this thread awhile back:

Thanks! I will read through that thread and then contact you if I have more questions. I think it would be really fun to build one.

It's interesting... of course it does not have anti-lock brakes or electronics for this or that, but it does have an LSD and for a guy who's never owned a RWD car (EVO as close as I have gotten with AWD) it's very forgiving.

On the twisty backroads running around with the other Brunton Stalkers, if u lost the rear end a bit, it kicks a tiny bit and then u let off, it comes back into line and off ya go. U're right over the rear axle, so u feel things really well IMO.

On the other hand, it accelerates and brakes so darn hard, u don't really have to push it in the corners if u want to gun down other cars....but you can.
