The Cobra is getting a bit sedate, can't get to 60 in the driveway. Actually I'm just using up a bit of the "Junque" I have
laying around and building it so I can share tires/wheels with the PU.

Well...the kit itself costs twice as much as the 2.8/3.4L kit...3.4 kit comes out to like $8k and some change, the 3.8 kit for some reason is $16k
from Brunton. I will double check the prices and such, and if it is the same amount only + for the engine...I will be going that route then. Thanks
guys.

NVM, double checked the priced, I was looking at the wrong thing. The kits are the same price. The difference between the Stalker and the SuperStalker
is about $300-600 depending on the engine/trans/diff prices.

I think that you're still a bit off on the price, but I'd call the SS a no-brainer.
FWIW, Dennis is the real deal, Hellofa nice guy and more accesible than one could reasonably ask for. There will be a minor glitch here or there, but
well, well worth it. Basically you're putting together a bona-fide supercar for the cost of a used sedan. There's nothing quite like
passing Ferraris, Porsches, Lotus', Nobles and the like with a car that you built yourself. It almost feels like cheating

Well, the price is quoted directly from Dennis during a phone conversation we had earlier. He said the difference is just a few hundred dollars (if
you play your cards right at the junkyard) and the main thing I should think about instead of price is if I want to go "bloody fast" or
"just a little zippy", lol. I think I'm going to go with the SS because I asked him if it was too much to handle, and he said with
the supercharger on bypass mode (where it only comes on when you stomp on the gas/push it all the way in, a la a turbo's characteristics) you
have a very calm daily driver, with the power basically on tap. Or you can have it just completely on and race, or turn it off altogether. I think
that's a winner.

006:
Sounds like you're all set. My car was the black car with the stripe in the article. I live in the DFW metroplex if you have any questions. I
just got my car registed.
With you San Antonio weather, you might be able to drive your car quite a bit. Make sure you check on insurance though. I'm finding most
policies will not let you drive your se7en as a daily driver.
I've seen a very nice Stalker up close. I'm sure the Stalker guys will know which one I'm talking about. It's a Kansas car and
has polished aluminum, countersunk exposed rivets (very nice) and a really odd windscreen. The owner tossed me the keys, but something came up and I
didn't get a chance to drive the car. Too bad.
These guys are right. You really don't need too much to make these cars fast.
Honestly, if I were starting a US build, I would purchase a kit in the following order of preference:
Fisher Fury
MK (They are just so inexpensive, even with shipping to the US)
MNR
Coveland in the US
--HTH, Chris
