looks like highly tuned GTR to me
Noble won immediate start due to weight but then turbo kicked
800-900bhp?

Looks like something broke !!!

And it's yellow - had it been blue it would have been completely different

[brb]

it's mine.
gtr is 600 hp ++. 0-1000m in 20.6 s............
i've been mistaken and start on 3rd gear at 80 km/h
I'm sorry but I'll be back

[brb]

something wrong at 5300 rpm.
the engine is feeble over 5500 rpm.
I think that I have to see yellowshead and jetstream as soon as possible

if you look at the graph, the dyno is not capable of measuring an accurate transmission loss

if the base figure is correct you have approx 400 hp

where are you based ? can you take it to a better Dyno ?

I'm in paris.

would like to see a drag race between a GTR & M400, think the outcome would be different.

[jamescmr2]

I'll be honest, i thought the Noble had missed a gear or something with what happened.

i watched the other videos against the Lambo etc and it backed that up.

very odd power curve hey!

power curve from a diesel

Over what distance? The Nissan is good for 3.1-3.3 second 0-60 and 0-100 in 8.9.

In anything other than Ideal conditions I'd bet on the GTR, as it has launch, traction and a quick flappy gearbox.
A standing quarter mile of a very repeatable sub 12 seconds is not too shabby at all.
My M400 was quick but really needed warm rubber and road to hook up properly.

ETS That curve has a large hole in it that needs filling init.

David Yu had a race with me in their tuned GTR (Godzilla)

He lost..........easily

That's the beuty of power to weight, for every 100 BHP you add to a Noble a Nissan GTR would need 170 to achieve the same ratio.

That was my point, a tuned GTR against tuned Noble running 500bhp per ton the Noble would be faster everywhere, one would think, you would need 1000bhp in a GTR to compete.
