Comments please

[Ash M400]

Please keep this to yourselves, the Noble guys don't know that I am thinking of changing.

Here is what I am considering.

Your comments are more than welcome, in fact, needed as I know very little about the marque. Apart from Porche are bullet proof.

Kind regards

Great car,not sure about bullet proof if you were referring to the engines that is.

could you expand please?

I do not want to be worried about expensive re-builds. I tend to push rather than relax.

GT2 & TT engines have a good reputation for reliability, based on GT1 race block, but there have been issues, two engines in Purely Porsches long termer for example! My TT had over £3ks worth of warranty work on the engine. Generally they are pretty bullet proof, but better safe than sorry!

Bottom line is DON't buy without a full OPC check & buy the official Porsche warranty, it is only £750 & is a no brainer on a GT2, new engines are VERY expensive!

Point taken.

If the deal is right, it will have to have the additional warranty.

Thanks all for your valuable comments.

I had both at the same time...GT2 and Noble. Still have Noble, GT2 gone. Suppose it depends what you want. Gt2 much faster in a straight line but a lot less fun overall. Much harder riding too. But much more 'solid' and 'finished'. I'm confusing myself now! You need to drive one though. The ride could be a deal breaker for many people.

Thanks for the input.

My problem is that everytime I use the power of the Noble, little things seem to go wrong.

They all add up, I love my M400 and if I could afford it, would have both.

The Roush exhaust has let the engine rev now, however, at what cost?

Porsche is a precision made machine and I think that driving the way I do, will more than make up for the slight drop in performane, if any. (I suspect the GT2 would be the better).
