So I am a little late but about a month ago I gave myself a Birthday Present that I have wanted for about 14 years, Its a 2006 Noble M400. These are mid engine RWD cars with astonishing abilities. I hope to get it out to some events to race a different class than my dsm so I can double the fun on track days. This particular one puts out 475whp and weighs 2349lbs. I have a lot of plans to get this on a whole different level, alongside my Talon which just had the AMB V2 aero kit arrive for!

Awesome!!! Happy birthday and congrats!

More pics please.
 
I have custom wheels on order for it already, the stock wheels are heavy and one had a crack coming from the lug hole, so someone over tightened it at some point. so the new wheels will be 8lbs lighter a piece, should make a huge difference!
 
Dont forget to give me the vin so i can try get that color code for you
 
will do. I keep forgetting to just grab it at night when I get home... too many other things going on in life LOL.. but the new wheels should arrive on the 14th so it will be back on the road and that will help some
 
Never heard of those. Pretty cool setup, though.
yeah there are only 220 Nobles in the U.S. and from what I can tell only 135 of those were M400 models. Mine is chassis number 142/220
they use a ford duratec 3.0 with a couple turbos. they send it to roush for the tune and throw it in a 2340lb chassis. Mine is still mostly stock with basic track use upgrades such as oil cooler, baffled oil pan, etc. and a retune to make 475whp. Its plenty fast for not having any driver aids whatsoever (no ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control etc.)
 
Always liked those cars. Congrats! I actually didn't know there were any in the states. Have seen them mostly in the UK and Europe.

Lee Noble's cars are awesome. Real race cars for the road without all the outlandish frills of the normal supercars. I'm a ford guy as well as DSM's so I always liked that he used the 3.0 and turbo'd it for the M400.
 
yeah it has to be one of the purest driving experiences out there... its amazing how composed the car is for being downright scary fast! and the new M500 is going to have another ford motor from the Ford GT!
 
been a while since I posted about the car. wheels finally arrived, have had it tuned to make more power, and have done some events with the car... now I get to race the DSM and the Noble at events together!

Nobles are insanely nice cars. Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear even praised them. I believe they're built by a small British company? Anyway, I've always had mad respect for these cars. I remember when they unveiled their m600 supercar.. droolllllll.

Congrats on the ride buddy. That is one heck of a car!

yeah it has been a dream car for so long.. love watching the reviews of them and the testers just being blown away that 12 people out of an industrial warehouse could build such a fantastic car!

and they say money doesnt buy happiness..

well money bought me a noble m400 and that makes me happy!!! :)

Sweet! Nice car.

I just saw one last weekend at a SCCA Evo Advantage Driving school. Silver in color. Very beautiful.

awesome!! I have had mine to a few events so far, completely different than my AWD DSM.. having to re-learn how to drive fast LOL.. maybe I will see you at an event with both my cars one of these days... any chance you do time trial events?
