the baddest ride I have ever experienced !!!!!!!

As many of you know, I am a huge entusiast when it comes to high performance automobiles and I am very fortunate to have driven such cars as the Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari F40, Porsche TT, Lamborghini Murcialago etc. etc. etc. While all of these cars will leave a huge smile on your face upon your exit, I strongly believe that my last few days were spent in the most impressive car I have ever driven.

Many will frown upon its drive train (which consist of a Ford 3.0 liter engine paired with 2 Garrett T28 turbochargers) but trust me, the sound and performance received under full acceleration are unlike anything I have ever experienced. I was cruising at 60mph in 3rd gear at 25% throttle and decided to lay into it. Instantaneously the backend of the car started fishtailing from side to side (for approximately 3 seconds) when the tires finally hooke up, you are then forced back into your seat while an astounding amount of torque comes into play. The hissing and pressure valves from the turbos during shifts is enough to make just about anyone smile from ear to ear. Those that are not smiling will most likely be expressing a face of terror. Which I personally find comical.

I could go on and on about how impressed I was with this car but I am trying to keep this somewhat short. The handling is astonishing, and the closest thing you will find to a real race car in any street legal car. Here are just a few things to sum this beauty up. 425 bhp @ 6500 rpm, 390 ft lbs @ 5000 rpm, in a car that has a curb weight of 2337 lbs. I will have to do a little more research on this statement, but if I am not mistaken, these numbers give this car one of the highest horsepower to weight ratios in the world. The car ?

The Noble M 400

I ordered 2 of them before I left.

Scullinator · February 14th, 2007

so how much to have you drive one of those down to greenville for me?

Pops · February 14th, 2007

watch you talking bout willis ? You want one ? or you just wanta take a ride in one ?

Scullinator · February 14th, 2007

I was just joking but really I need a car. You know It has been over a year since I had a car. I work right down the street from my house and I have a brother that lives in town so not having a car is not too terriable. The biggest problem with not having a car is trying to date. This car would get me mad pu... never mind.

Evolution · February 14th, 2007

Wow, that's saying something if you picked a Noble over cars, like the Enzo! Sounds like a blast! You are one lucky man. Hopefully someday I can be fortunate enough just to drive one of those cars (or even sit in one

), let alone deal with them on a daily basis.

Sculli - I will be more than happy to find you a car. I have done it for past members and will continue to offer my services to anyone in need. I do not specialize only in 6 figure cars, they are just my favorites. Give me a call man, I will do anything I can to help you.

(pm me for phone number if you wish)

Scullinator · February 15th, 2007

Thanks man, Ill hit you up when Im ready to buy. Right now Im still paying for two other cars (long story) so when that gets paid down Ill be ready to go. My problem in the past was not having someone that knew about cars to help me out. The last car I baught was a real lemon.

Pops · February 15th, 2007

Scully, you need to start getting some of those ECU hotties to start pushing you around town when they come in to pay their bill.
