yes, the sr3 is faster than the noble, but it is aracecar with plates, after all, it's faster than *anything* out there. On the same magazine, an sr3 was beaten by a few hundreths by a gsx-r1000 with highly worked suspension and a blueprinted engine...

The Noble is a street car, perfectly comfortable in rain and bumps...
However, it costs something like £56k in the UK and something similar in the rest of europe. It is cheaper than the GT3, but it's a plastick-bodied special, handmade with Ford swithcgear.
