I'm one of them. I KNOW that my M400 is quick, it just doesn't FEEL as quick as the Westfield or the Escort. I think this is down to noise. Bike engine is loud, and the Escort was running anti-lag, and had straight cut 'box. The Noble is smooth, and you don't realise just how quick you are going.

I agree and Ive said it before - they dont feel quick to me at all, but drop your eyes to the speedo and its a different story !!

Had a cossie Grp N rally car (ex McRae/Saintz recce car) with the restrictor removed, and re-maped. Sold it when the Noble arrived.
