Default New toy pics

Here's a couple pics of the new stablemate alongside my buddy's GT2.
I hope the 993TT doesn't get jealous.

Antcee,

Is that a Noble? Tell us a bit about it.

Yes,
It's a 2006 Noble M400. 425hp twin turbocharged 3.0 liter V6 and weighs just over 2300 lbs. Comes with roll cage and 4 pt. harness. I'll be finished with the 1000 mi. break-in tomorrow. (just took delivery Oct. 28th). The handling is amazing!

I've seen a couple of them out at the Eurocar Sunday in Calabasas. One of them is black and totally sandblasted from many, many track miles. They are great looking cars. How is the fit and finish?

Fit and finish is excellent. Mine is Grigio Titanium. It's has Armourfend paint protection in all the right spots.

You have Nobles in the US - I am impressed they passed all the US emissions and safety standard. Great cars. Enjoy (on nice sunny and dry days )

Josh,
I love the drive to work. Lot's of open highway to open it up on. The car sits very low to the ground. Your butt is literally 6 to 7 inches above the ground. The ride is firm and the steering is extremely precise, very reminiscent of the open wheel Formula cars at Skip Barber. You do feel ALL the bumps and there is very little, if any, sound dampening. That's okay with me though. Acceleration has yet to be fully tested, but I'll be done with the break-in by tommorow.
