This would be a dream to own this car would rather have this m400 than most other supercars.

Not all that surprised the 2.5 in my 99 Cougar has been known to be able to hold its own in the 400 horse power range. BUt still yes that noble is a shagy vehicle.

Theres like 4 models of the noble the M400 looks killer but before this guy used ford engines he used chevys in this car he made Ascari KZ1.

It needs an alignment. Look at the rear tire wear. And that's with only 1300 miles on them! If I had 80K though, I doubt that would matter much.

Wow, that's an interesting tread design. I guess the alignment is ok after all.

Ever sat in one?  I suggest seeing if one fits you before purchasing.  For the money (neighborhood), I'd take a GT40/43, real or clone.

And yeah, Ford seems determined to keep the really good cars away from us.

Well if you can't afford a Jaugar XJ220 it seems like a nice V6 Turbo supercar to own. So what would you buy with $60,000-$80,000 Gumby?

I haven't driven a Noble, it was too uncomfortable sitting pen 15-eyed.  To be fair, it was a 10, not a 15. 

80K will buy a lot of car, new or used.  A new Corvette has a performance/buck value that's hard to beat.  If you want to be fastest around the track, 80K can get you two Lotus Elises, and you'll have enough spare change to warm over motors in case you want to really humilate the competition..

But you could have McLaren F1 performance for $45K with one of these...

The Atom is stupid fast! The ultimate toy.

The F1 wishes it had the performance of the Atom. The only thing it can to better is top speed.

atom -some assembly required @ $45K, and probably worth every penny

then there's this..

Another thing the McLaren has over the Atom -  two (enclosed) passenger seats.  Ménage à trois anyone?

The Caparo is a shiznitty car. It's pretty much undrivable. Just another way for ballers to throw money around and kill themselves.
