Another slatting from a Porsche owner
Discussion
"Ive driven a noble m12 gto (3L ford V6 twin turbo)
I have to say it was quick upto 130mph but then gutless also it was very difficult to drive the car...im sure this was deliberate as it did give it a racing car feel.
As for build quality i rebuilt the engine at 15K and it was the worst engineered/built put together car i have worked on in my life and ive worked on 80% of vehicle manufactures...it was such aboge job its amazing a kid in a shed could of built 1 of those better....not sure what the newer ones are like but doubt a leppard changes his spots !
Just my 2 pence worth"

I find mine wanders over poor surfaced or rutted roads, but thats probably cos its wearing 265 section tyres 
no mention iof the sloppy box, which i think is the worst feature of the early Nobles (by that i mean any car that doesnt have the m400 linkages). Couldn't comment on reliability, but non tuned ones seem to last well.

Got to be honest though if you're used to working on Porkers, the Noble engine bay is....well....a bit of a pickle ! 
Yeah - for a start you can see the engine in a Noble. Trerrible 
Anyone know what the man hours to remove a Noble engine vs a porker engine are???
Don't even go there, an experienced person can pull out a Porsche engine in about an hour.
