what do you guys think of the Noble M12? under $90k for 3.7 0-60 and 1.156g lateral on street tires. oh hell yeah!

 

Looks a lot like the new Lotus Elise. My neighbor just got one (Lotus) and it's a blast. I'm sure the Noble is equally fun.

Rod.

 

yeah, the elise is nice too. street legal super-go-karts!

 

wow, looks awesome. The only things that throw me....the double spoiler?! and the fact that it's a Ford motor, not gonna last long.

 

yeah, those are the things thst i dont care for. but i doubt they would be too hard to remedy.

 

ummm. the ford motor would be a little hard to rememdy...I'm just kidding thouhg...I mean, is it meant to last all that long? How many cars like that have 100K+ miles on them? Not exactly a DD

 

yeah, that baby would be the track and weekend car. i'm 6'4", so the z is a bit of a squeeze, although not terrible, i have spent 15+ hours straight in it, only stretching my legs for gas. i dont think that would happen in the noble, its way too tiny.

 

I don't know man, my Z is pretty roomy for a 2 seater car. And I am 6' 5" tall, maybe the 300zx's had a little less legroom? Because my Z is pretty spacious that is why I like it so much. It is my Celica that has less legroom in it. So it is quite a difference between the two.

 

i'm not complaining about the room in my z. it has plenty of room compared to most 2 seaters that i have been in. its is a bit cozy though, but thats one of the things i like about it. i prefer cars that feel more like i am strapping on, rether than climbing into. i cant stand big cars, my dad has a navigator, man i hate driving that. way too much car spread out, and the steering is so overly assisted i feel disconnected. its like i am just along for the ride, and the car is more in control. i know it sounds corny, but in the z i feel more as one with the car, like it communicates with me, and i know where all the parts of the car are. in a big car or suv it feels like ive got a bunch of crap hanging out behind me. and i cant stand cab forward cars, i need to be more or less in the middle. sorry for the rambilg, it just kinda fell out of my head.
