I am thinking of getting a Noble or Porsche for trackdays but Nobles have very bad lap times despite amazing 0-60 times so has anyone any idea why?

Not sure why, We have one sitting in the garage and that is blistering with it's Yoko's

Not sure what they come with as standard, As said above it may have been tyres vs conditions etc.

Not down to cornering abilities then?
Which model is your blistering one and any mods?

I don't mean it in the sense of blistering F1 style but they done half shift !

The chassis dynamics are superb the grip is really good so I don't know why the laptimes are slightly down... probably conditions and tyres. The Noble feals faster,corners and pulls harder than most things I've driven including TVR Tuscan which is quicker on TG laptime board. As a pure driving experience and the bang for buck you get with a Noble there arn't many things for the money that can come close.

It is a GTO3 with just under 400bhp on Yoko RE050's

Don't know what the times are perhaps you cold post a link , Nobles are very light and generally corner very well on track , what tracks are you thinking off ??? I've spent the last 2 Goldtrack evening sessions at silverstone with. Vid v box system fitted and the results are pretty good ,
