a guy in North Andover has one of those Nobles. He brought it by one of the car show we put on a work. Very nice car and it looks sick. But I think I would rather have a new ZO6. The Noble was to ridged and small for my liking...

Neither spend another 20k and get a Mosler MT900R

Or build an Ultima GTR for about the cost of the new Z06.
If between the 3, Z06. You know it would spank the other 2. The noble is cool, but not badass.
Noble 400M costs like 90k.
It's a tough call, depends what your looking for. If you want fast and reliable zo6, a better track/auto-x would be the noble. I don't know enough about the skyline yet. The noble looks very Lotus Elise ish. But the new z06 such a bad *** car. Get the Vette, save yourself a bunch of money and put in a few mods if you feel the need to spend.

Yeah this will be a weekend and track car. I'll keep the STi for commuting only. I'm pretty torn betwen all 3. My breakdown is this for the straits with mild cornering Z06, for track noble, and for a mix the GTR. The only probelm is that the GTR has no REAL numbers on it yet. It's suppose to compare with the Z06, but we'll see when they make it.

Noble, just for the 1.15 lateral g's on street tires, thats sick! The gtr will without a doubt be the biggest and heaviest car and for that reason alone i wouldnt want it, although im sure it will be nice

Uhh anybody else besides me notice that the noble uses a ford DURACRAP 3.0 twin turbo. The twin turbos are cool but I would not want to spend that kind of money for a run of the mill ordinary motor. Give me my ls7 and some change to spare please!

There is always this option:
http://www.factoryfive.com/table/ffr...TM/GTMkit.html
I saw one on the power tour and it was running a standard, stock ls6 and was crazy quick.
Think of it with a modified LS7????
Plus I think it would be fun as hell building your own kit car. You could probably put it together for around $50 grand. The only drawback to the car is that you have to use the porsche transmission and I'm not sure how strong it is, but in a 2200lb car, it seems like a fun track car and even better street car.
