Crumbs. Never thought I'd hear that. I assumed the Ultima was a natural next step from the Noble.
Are they not all they're cracked up to be?

different worlds one it comes to drivability !!! my Can-am ran full EFI and cost a small fortune to build and while the performance is awsome and it looked great it never was as good to drive as i wanted it to be !! Noble feels alot more sure footed ,its easyer to live with on a day to day basis !! just my opinion of course !!
Don,t get me wrong i loved my can-am ,building it was fantastic but at the end of the day was it worth 50k ?????????????? don,t ask me to answer that question !!!!

Well done Simon... another Canam owner migrating to an M12 like I did, are we starting a trend? lol... told ya it would exceed all your expectations.

and no an Ultima is definatelly not a step up from a Noble... other than straight line performance it is the other way around IMO... and then of cause there is Adrians!

edited to say that this is of cause only my opinion, but it is based on doing over 10k in both Marques and driving 4 different high spec Ultimas (drove the Ultima on track and strip). Ultimas are an awsome bit of kit and when you have one its hard to think anything could be better, but the Noble is IMO.

So, am I the only one who is itching to get the car out in the snow? It's fantastic for car control without the associated dangers of doing the same things at high speed.

A big car park, no cars except me my Noble and a bit of drifting and an invitation from Dunkin Donuts woohoo
