The V6 Camaro engine.
The kit was designed by American engineer Dennis Brunton. It is equivalent to the Kiwi Fraser Clubman cars.
There’s room for two in the Brunton Stalker.
Some hobbyists make models while others collect stamps, but Warkworth’s Tony Clarke and his Dad build performance race cars.
Currently in Tony’s garage is the Brunton Stalker kit car, imported from the United States.
It has a V6, 3.4 litre engine that was taken from a 1990s Camaro and puts out 142 horsepower. The gearbox and diff were from an S10 Chevrolet pickup truck.
Its top speed is 180km/h and it can travel a quarter mile (0.4km) in 13.2 seconds. It weighs 590 kilograms.
