Had a go at a Noble this afternoon on a stretch of duel carriageway, not sure what model, suppose it was an M12.
Saw him in rear-view mirror as he started to overtake. I thought to myself that would be very childish of me to drop a gear and floor it after him, which is exactly what I did a split second later... kept that Noble rear nicely filling my windscreen view all the way to the next roundabout. Trouble is I'm still getting used to the cerb so was to terrified to notice speed or rpm but It felt like there was still a fair bit more power to, guessing by the engine sound probably at least 1k RPM shy of the redline. Of course the Noble may not have been giving it that much stick but it seemed like we were both at pretty silly speed quite quickly! I'm impressed.

You've just got to do it from time to time.

I think most other car owners don't mind watching a Cerb devestate them..............

I suppose it's one duty to keep the public entertained and informed in matters Cerbera!

Did the same with a 2004 xkr the other day and had to keep lifting off the gas otherwise I would have planted myself up his backside.. There's not much more in life than demoralising someone whose car is worth 50k more than yours!
