I had one interested party who wanted to go back to the stock seats but he is on hold for a while. I'll sell the Recaros separately, but only if the final buyer wants the stock seats back in place.
The Noble is pretty breathtaking. Much more accelerative and balanced, but definitely feels more like a toy than a car. It seems very easy to get it to move around and very controllable over the limit of grip, but I am going to take a long, slow approach to finding out what this car can do. It's a little scary.

Saw the ad for the 69K mile Arena car at a higher price than mine and wanted to give this a bump.
Has a tire kicker out to look at it the other day, but haven't heard back.

Not confused. The Noble is Midnight Blue. I need to get some pics but we've been having crappy weather.
I'm finally getting to grips with the acceleration. The car is 396 bhp at the wheels and weighs 2400 lbs. Potential to 100 is under 8 seconds, so it's quite a bit quicker in a straight line and is easily able to overwhelm the tires in 1st and 2nd gear. What amazes me is how controlled the suspension is, while still seeming more supple than the 911 or even my C63 benz. It rides incredibly well.
Because I first got the car in winter, and then took 30 days to figure out how to get it registered in Missouri (GIANT PITA) I haven't really had a chance to get out on the back roads and play. I may wait until spring and a track weekend to really push a little. It's a car that requires more skill to go quickly and I am honestly not sure I am up to the task. Baby steps.

Finally a little nice weather to drive the Noble. I really do need a track to do this properly. It had a ton of traction out of corners, and changes direction as quickly as any car I've ever driven, full race prepped 944s included, but that torque spike when the boost hits is pretty hairy.
The steering is really quick and it is easy to catch, but I still have a long learning curve ahead of me to get all the power down beyond the apex of a corner.
Wow.
