SPLN SUX Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I still say a 200lb tube frame (kart like), with a domestic 4 banger in it would run rather close to litre bikes in the 0-100 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonneVille Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I thought I'd heard some bad things about the Stalkers... Doesn't matter though. Anything can be improved with some pipe, a donor sportscar, and a welder. Biggest problem with the Stalker is the rear axle. The S-10 axle the kit uses is too damn heavy. All that unsprung weight in such a light car. (1350, just high enough to pass SCCA weight minimum for it's class) The problem is that anything lighter just won't hold up to the torque of the L67. Using an aftermarket Jaguar style independent rear would reduce the unsprung weight, but increase the overall weight. I'd be willing to make the trade-off.

Trouble Maker Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 1st Place Shelby Super Car (ssc) Ultimate Aero TT Yup, I knew it was some XXX (three lettered) car. I was pulling that part off of the top of my head and knew that it may have been wrong. I just knew that some car recently beat out the Veyron and that's the car that popped into my head. Still, they all three did hold the top speed record at some point (ableit it was the Koenigsegg CCR and not the CCX). The SSC Ultimate Aero weighs 2750lb and has 1046HP, putting it at 2.7lb/hp. Almost as low as this car, but not quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 This car and the Atom 500 have the same motor. I'd personally rather have the Atom. Didn't know about the Atom 500, but if it's the same engine like you say, I'd agree. Although I'd be perfectly fine with the n/a version. I'd think I'd almost prefer it with those individual throttle bodies and trumpets. The Ariel Atom, in any variant, is on my very short list of cars to own. God that's a beautiful looking engine.

Zach1647545520 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 The SSC is amazing. I'll save up for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
