I know it will out corner me, as they are LIGHT, but what about straightline? 0-60? 1/4? etc...

Also I am a mile high.

Here is what I have:EVO Stage 3, Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, b&m shifter, k24, milltek exhaust

I am pretty sure he is stock.

Thanks in advnace.

nobles are pretty much manufactured kit cars so they already have the tuning and suspension. they are nice looking cars and they are fast. I think you guys will be close. what does your evo stge3 kit put down?

I was told 550 when I bought it, but I don't have any numbers to back that up.

Well, who really knows. Realize that up here in Denver, you will putting down much less than at sea level. Enjoy it, sounds like a nice car. I'd like to see that noble in person as well. they are cool cars. My neighbor has a buddy up here that has one, can't be too many around

There is a shop in California called "Turbohoses" that specializes in Nobles. They'll have up to 6 nobles at a time in their shop. They come to the states as kit cars. They have a turbo charged ford duratec 6 cylinder engine at various levels of tune. The guys at turbohoses should have all the info you need on that car. Good luck.

ran with a few Nobles. this car is a track weapon if driven by someone who knows how to drive. it will be faster than your car with equal drivers on short technical coarses and you should get him on high speed tracks.

Those cars are super light. 2000 - 2300 lbs. With anywhere from 400 to 600+ hp, they can be super fast. Way faster than our car (996tt) with similar horsepower.

In a 3/4 mile drag race, it'll beat you by less than a second and a few mph.

I'm BLKROKT. Adrian's car was a bit more tweaked than the standard spec, so you may even edge out your Dad. Either way it's damn close. Let us know how it turns out!

EDIT: I see you have K24's. You should pull it top end no problem then.

When you race your dad, don't forget to sneak into his car beforehand and stuff about 40 lbs of diver weights in his car. Also drop his tire pressures by 10 psi JK.

Noble is a short track "killer"

+1 Tom,

I have driven one and they are "near race car like" handling which is largely due to the fact we give up 1000 lbs !!!!! to it.
It is a crowd pleaser but has horrible assembly/fit and finish.
The one of (3) in Mpls that I know of required a complete going through
to get it right. It had multiple washers in place of bushings and other
**** like that.

With my level of power (620-650 crank), I can easily out accelerate a stock noble.

Thanks for letting me in on the secret. That car looks really fun. I've just spent an hour googling the car, and came across the new manufacturer. Marty, the new guys may have ironed out some of the problems you talked about. Here's a link.
