wow just wow - that guy get a huge thumbs up for getting a Noble vs other "status" cars people may buy (Ferraris, Lambos, ect). The Noble is driver`s car and an exceptional one at that

OH and great detail also

I will look hope for the chance at facing off against that thing on some of the southeasts road course venues

:thx all for the very kind words!!

klnyc just GC shampoo and a wash mitt. No chemicals and no brushes. I did wipe the rims down with ClearKote`s QuikShine before applying the PB`s sealant.

fishbonezken about six hours.

sftempest66 with Optimum and Menzerna polishes I use plain old H2O. With Meg`s 80 series line I use #34 and when polishing with PB`s SSR line (usually outside) I use ClearKote`s QuikShine.

Just a correction:

Nobles sare DESIGNED in England, but manufacturered in South Africa by a company called Hitech, which I believe is owned by Jim Price. Hitech is perhaps better known for manufacturing Superformance replicars incliding a Shelby Cobra, a licensed GT40, and a new version of the Shelby Daytona Coupe which was designed by Pete Brock, designer of Shelby`s original Daytona Coupe. Hitech also builds Coibra replicas for Carroll Shelby, which he sells with "CSX" serial numbers. Like the Nobles, Superformance cars are supplied completely assembled without drivetrain. This enables the company to get around current DOT/EPA regulations. Individual customers install or contract the installation of drivetrains and register their completed vehicles as speccially constructed or custom cars in theior states.

The exclusive USA distributor is 1 g Racing who has made a deal with Roush Performance to build twin turbo Ford duratec V6s with upto 425 horsepower.

The M400 gets its name from having 400 hp per metric ton. Or, should I say "tonne"?

Thanks for the info STG. :up

I just realized that there is a piece on this car in this month`s issue of Car & Driver.

Great work and it must have been a pleasure to work on. Nice to see a functional rear wing too.

**Stickman81** · 02-25-2007, 08:32 PM

Very cool car Mike.

Nice wet looking paint too.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow! My favorite car in Xbox360 : Project Gotham 3 !!! NIIICE!

**stilez** · 02-28-2007, 05:28 PM

No kidding! I was thinking of building one of these someday...or something along those lines.

Gorgeous work across the board, Mike!

Any idea what the cash outlay was for this?

**ZaneO** · 02-28-2007, 05:50 PM

Very nice vehicle, topped with supreme detail work

**jbraswell** · 02-28-2007, 08:14 PM

Wow, I saw this car twice in the last two days in Dallas. Such a beautiful car other than the wing (function over form I know)... but you definitely did a great job! Did you get a chance to hear the car run? When I saw it he was heal-towing from about 60 mph and it sounded incredible!

**David Fermani** · 02-28-2007, 08:31 PM

What kind of dressing did you apply to the tires? It looks really thick.

**lland** · 02-28-2007, 08:44 PM

My neighbor had a Noble (and an S600, and an SL550, and a custom roadster...). Wonderful car. The noble is a very dark orange. Never saw a car even close to that color before.
