in standard form, like so:
and lots of money for bits like this:
Custom made exhaust manifolds and exhaust system all internally and externally ceramic coated
2x t28 turbos that have had their internals fully reworked to race spec
MBE management
lots of other new parts
many late nights and scraped knuckles
and you get this:
and over 550 bhp
once it was finished I took lLinch out in it. he pooped his bundies.

You can't possibly think it looks nice J? It looks like a mid-life crisis on wheels.

it seems 50/50 about the looks, I love the looks as they are very 'early 90's' but you forget about the looks as soon as you get in and drive one.

550bhp aint all that when you think specky has 505bhp in a corsa.

yes, but that power in a mid engine, rwd properly designed chassis that can actually get traction and go round corners and then stop properly is a different matter.

Similar weight and the Noble is right wheel drive? Id say it is?
Id put money on the Noble beating the 505bhp Corsa in pretty much every discipline? Acceleration, top speed, handling and braking?
