I have a feeling you're still gonna be on this board with the Boxster in your garage this time next year.

Cool car though.
Hi,

Not at all. The mechanicals are sourced from Ford (3.0L Duratec V6 - 425HP), thoroughly massaged by Roush Technologies (all internals changed to SVT parts, Air Research Turbos, ), so any Ford Dealer can service it. The Brakes are straight APs or Wilwoods, plenty of parts availability for those. Standard Getrag 6-speed box w/ AP Clutch. All off-the-shelf, well proven components. No Traction Control, no ABS, no Power Steering to fail. It weighs 1200 lbs. less than the Enzo or CGT and does 0-60 in 3.3sec., 0-100 in 7.9sec., ¼ mi. in 11.2sec., 1.3g on the Skidpad.

The Noble M400 has shown itself to be quite robust and reliable. Few Owners report any issues at all and it has no known weak points...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
