Where to go after Noble?

[V6GTO]

It wont happen for a long while with me, but we'll all get other cars after the Noble. I was thinking what I'd get next, and thought I'd get a camper van and tour the world. Then I saw this...

Martin.

The grey one in the middle is slow from 0 to 60.

They are nice looking cars. Maybe a scoop like that could feed our ICs.

I saw it in the flesh at MPH and have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed given the price point of it.

With it sitting next to the odd Lambo or two, it really didn't "do it" for me.

Note the colour of the one in the middle!

Paul...I think you could be right! That looks fantastic. At first glance I thought it was a Noble that had been photoshopped

Martin (soon to be leaving Spain for the USA )

That looks fabulous.

From what I can read, the car is one you build yourself from a frame and body kit. It uses Corvette suspension. It gets its parts from a C5 donor car. Videos are here: www.factoryfive.com/videogallery.html

Amazing looks, american NASCAR front end - Enzo back end.
V light - cheap as chips componentry
No problem getting to 350 bhp with normaly aspirated engines - much more possible and they are all fully sorted.
So yes chaps this would be my next step.

Of course you could buy a proper quick track car...

...But they wouldn't be nearly so good on the road.

My suggestion is an M14 for the road and an R600 for track

Having just watched TG, the Veyron gets my vote... Now, where did I leave that spare £850K???

Thats been kicking about on the Ultima forum for a bit now. Speaking of which, I reckon that an Ultima GTR 640 or 720 is the only way to go performance wise, without spending a small fortune ona "Supercar".

..and one should also read Murrays comments re the Veyron as well as Clarksons!

Yes but just look at the two side by side. The Ultima - all sharp sides, squared off panels and blunt in your face. The GTM, smooth and sexy as silk.
No contest.

Where to go after Noble? Well great as the Noble is, we all like a change sometime so try a 996 GT3 next maybe. MK2 can be had for £50k now (and still dropping slowly), which represents reasonable value....or £60k for a private sale RS, which would be my choice of the two as it's that little bit more special.

Sorry... can't get the P word out either.

Yes, but they haven't driven the Gumpert yet. Should be pretty hard to beat on track at 583bhp per metric ton.
