    I love theses! On paper, they are very impressive. With with 0-60 times in the mid 3 second range, you cant go wrong!

    I took an extended drive in the M400 during the Sebring race weekend. I was behind the wheel on surface roads for about 45 minutes. The car is very fast and has gobs of power. If I were in the market I'd go for the M400 over the M12GTO. Why stop at 385 hp when you can have 425?

    In my mind it is an F40 for the price of a used 355. A true dual-purpose street/track car complete with rollcage and four point belts. Certainly it will never rival the F40 as far as styling, cache, etc., but if it's speed you're after the Noble is a good choice.

    The Noble is an insane car. Its so friggen fast for the price you pay it makes the car such a great buy. Taking it to the track for a race car or something.

    I drove one about 1.5 years ago and fell in love! The steering is so direct, and absolutely perfect! It makes the elise look silly. (I like the elise, but there is no comparo) The suspension is awesome, very compliant yet still flat through the corners. The power is truely insane as well! and I only drove the gto-3(not the 3r or m400). The sound is wild, not quite the beautiful ferrari engine sound, but fun to hear darth vader over your shoulder.

    I just bought a second house, so I'm not in the market. However if I wanted the most entertaining car for the money the Noble wins hands down!! Compared to any v8 ferrari/911 turbo/vette/esprit(I've driven all these too) it will literally suck their doors off!

    go to www.elisetalk.com subforum The Noble, couple US owners are on the site. Also visit pistonheads.com
