1gracing for noble. The cars will be rebadged sometime next year. Very well made and not anything like a kit car.

Radicals can be easily purchased through radical west. The SR8 will be the choice for the street.

Ariel Atoms are harder to get but ecotec clutches have known to be a lot more durable than the honda's. As for 0-60 times, who cares.. all that shows is whether you can lay down the power with traction..

Just like the the r32's, r33's and r34 N1's, we ALL know for sure that the motor is putting out a lot more HP/TQ than claimed. My cousin had a R34 Spec that was claimed from the factory with 276 HP. Dyno baseline on that car was more than 470HP to the wheel.. haha.. can you say SANDBAGGING..

in the link below u will see the atom and also notice how the porsche and ferrari cars fail to break the 4 second 0-60 barrier and also the atom BREAKS DOWN.. to much wear on the clutch after just 4 runs

Whether the numbers on the nissan are reproduced remains to be seen. As far as price my prediction is rare and hard to find when introduced but heavily discounted when unsold at end of it's first year of production

I'm sure a lot of M enthusiasts feel the same way about the M3.
