Quick question.

Noble is going to sold in the US under a new name, what is it?

Trying to tell a friend, can't recall or find it on the web.

There used to be Noble shotguns, I hope they aren't making a comeback.

Looks great, but 90 large for a car that's not from a regular manufacturer? How have Nobles held up in the used market? Is the perception that they are fancy kit cars or are they perceived as exclusive hand built units? But what performance.

Fast, and definitely easy on the eyes.

I one heard a rumor of someone fitting a Honda V10 F1 engine in a NSX. The V10 was de-cammed, of course, to take out the bite out. Still, the car ran around on the streets terrorizing everything but sonic booms.

Ah! Dreams and money!

Nah...it was only $35k. Higher mileage examples can be had in the low ~ mid 20's.

I had some tool wanting to know why I spent $88k on a car...he was quoting the last known new retail pricing (2005).

I wouldn't call an NSX rice at all. I rode in one and it was well balanced, refined, well made and built. It lacked the big power i expected from a "super car' but it was still very nice. A true performace GT.

IMO rice means japanese import poser. IOW guys who have a wing on the back on a front wheel drive car, a monster tach on an automatic, a fake roll cage, a 4" exhaust fart can on a small 4 cylinder, fake center-lock wheels, stickers all over the car, etc. Trying to make it look faster than it is. I hate that.

Neither would I. But, it seems to be the car that all aspire to.

If I only fit in the NSX... Lot's of car for the $$. Plus, it's a Honda.

Noble's look cool but that's GT3 money.
