So I ran into a pack of Noble m400s? The other day and I'll be honest, I likes the look. But of course they all had nothing but great things to say about their rides. 500 hp, 2200lbs bla blah... So can the forum educate us? Are these cars all show and no go? Just an expensive kit car? What do you think?
Noble what's the real story

Stock is more like 425 bhp. 500 whp isn't common, but not unheard of either. Still, even stock, Edmunds was impressed:

All go, all show. From my understanding it depends who builds them. It's one of my dream cars that's actually affordable.
They are a cool car. They are quite quick due to the fact they are so light. The interior is kind of crude and cramped. The car handles like a go kart. The value of the car really depends on who assembled it.....there are two desirable places if I recall correctly. Most examples you will find have been tracked and their forums are very informative and have some history on almost every car out there. The company is now Rossion and is located in Florida. It can be tricky to title/register the car depending on where you live as well. With the older Nobles body parts can be very expensive and hard to get as well as I remember reading.
As NA1MT correctly states, they are now Rossion and distributed out of their location in Florida. The owner, Ian, lives in my neighborhood and I've been to the facility a few times. The cars are very well built and extremely fast. The power plant is a Ford turbo crate motor that is tuned. The car can be titled anywhere because it falls under the "kit car" classification. They are basically a race car for the street. My only concern with them is the safety as they don't have airbags and can sustain crash damage very easily.
I know (2) separate people here in NJ that own them, and they both had hard times with title/reg here......it was eventually done but a pain in the ass in the end for both parties, which is why I stated it depends on where you live.
I think the M400 has an integrated roll cage, fwiw.
