Default Cars that make the GT2 RS awesome by comparison

As if the GT2RS is not already awesome in its own right, once you look at some of the other cars on the market, it looks even better. Of course there's the McLaren, which I think is the apex right now and the SLS is appealing, but hell, there's some "also rans" out there.

I was just looking at a video of Jay Leno talking to someone responsible for selling the Mosler MT900S ... strangely, the salesman seems to know very little about cars or driving ... anyway ... the Mosler certainly convinces the buyer that the GT2RS is an awesome proposition ... : )

http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/at-the...mosler-mt900s/

BTW, Jay said the Mosey is $340K +/- ... 2400lbs, 535 hp, no ABS or TC or SC ... two ... count 'em ... airbags ... Vette push rod V8 and running gear. Tube steel frame. Carbon body.

The Mosler is stupidly fast on a race track. Useless otherwise.

Each to his own, but in my book, the Noble has always been an overpriced understatement. They also break.

new one is really new... clean sheet and very highly rated

Saying it is the shizzle is good but the gt2rs is off the chain... which I think is as high as you can go... even higher than off the hook

i know of three nobles in Ca.
when they get on track, they break. ALWAYS.
i dont like things that break. i would have trade it back before i left the dealer's lot. it's POS in my opinion. get a lotus. far better car. it's a car, not a POS. ok i rest my case

Rossion is local, so I looked into it, but like Mooty says "when they get on track, they break. ALWAYS."

I only have a BA... clearly your have at least a masters degree

guys... the new noble is totally different and I am not defending the M12 etc... which I like but agree with you -- they break all the time... I have never seen one complete a track day... in fact the guy that regularly brings one to track days always brings two cars... a noble m12 and either a lotus or a caterham

if you have not checked out the new one... check it out here...

Keep it, and daily drive it for 2-3 years! Most realiable real supercar. Be a long term value investor not a day trader
