This month's car magazine

[matt frost]

Glanced at this month's car magazine whilst in BP and saw a track test featuring around 20 cars. Happy to see that the M400's time beat all of the world's best performance cars bar the Radical SR3, Ariel Atom (supercharged one) and think a Caterham R400 or something like that. M400 set a time of 48 secs around this 'short' lap and not another 'proper road car' got near it. Off the top of my head it was 2 secs faster than a Ford GT, 3 secs faster than a Gallardo and 911 GT3 RS, and I think 4 secs faster than a T350 and DB9. Good result although the new 911 Carrera 'S' won best overall car, the M400 got into the last 5 at least.

Another good result !

There is an increasingly single-minded pursuit of ultimate handling and in fairness to Noble, he's cracked it with the cars he builds.

But for normal people, yes, even Pistonheads, there's so much more to a car than that and if offered a Noble or Ford GT, I'd say "What Noble?". LOL

Absolutely!

Then i could sell it, and with the £110k buy an M400 and have £50k left for trackdays and servicing

The secondary market for them is trading at >200k a car at the moment. I'd sell it too! Not convinced it will age that well as the interior is pretty shocking for the money (and yes I've seen it in the flesh, they've even managed to make the metal bits look plastic!).
