Hi, first post here. Just getting interested in Noble and recovering from finding out that we can't get the M14 over here. Anyway, very interested in the M12 and was very pleased for the help from 1G racing here in the states - nice guys, sent me info, called me, CD's etc. What I am still trying to get figured out is the supplier in the US for the engine and transaxle. I understand the gearbox is "Getrag" but not able to find out US supplier. Any info would be appreciated, also I am somewhat familiar with Quaife and was wondering if there 6 speed transaxle setup has ever been put in the M12. Is the M12 strictly setup for the Getrag? Probably too many questions already. Thanks in advance

US Noble owner here, the M12 3R is sold here. It comes with the getrag 6 speed with optional LSD which I have. The transaxle package is available from Snakebite which 1G can put you in touch with. Engine comes from AER in Texas.

Order one, you'll be happy with it.

Call Dean Rosen at 1G Racing...he will be able to answer all of your questions and more, so be sure to make a list before you call him. Then call him back in a week or two with the other questions that you either forgot to ask or have come up with based on your conversation with him and from other research sources(magazines, internet, etc.). Dean is a great guy, very easy to deal with, and very knowlegable in all things Noble! BTW, 1G Racing, Snakebite, and Dynamic Motorsports are all housed in the same building...just different DBA's for legal issues related to selling cars in this manner. However, AER as well as your installer will be an entirely separate third and/or forth party.

You might find more advice at www.nobleforums.com/ . That is the up and coming Noble forum in the States.
Don't think twice, get one! I don't know anyone whose expectations of a Noble weren't met...and some.

..I'm afraid we have no plans to sell the Noble M14 in the States.
