I was there a couple weeks ago with a friend of mine. They have finished his white daytona cobra coupe with signed plaques from Brock Yates. Incredable tube chassis car. I cant wait he has offered to let me have a spin!

engine specs :D

 

At the heart of the M400 is the 3.0-litre, 24-valve V6 engine that can be found in the current M12 range. However, power is now increased by 21 per cent to 425bhp and torque by 11 per cent to 390lb ft.

 

Internally, the engine has been modified with higher-lift cams and forged, rather than cast pistons, for extra strength. The forged pistons have been included as a safety feature for the engine, rather than out of necessity: in fact, the development car that spawned the M400 has covered many thousands of reliable miles on cast pistons with an even higher output than the production M400. Add to this the usual tuning recipe that goes into each and every Noble engine, and owners can be assured of plenty of durable high-performance.

 

The M400 retains the twin-turbocharged arrangement of the standard GTO-3 and 3R models, but now has a brace of larger Garrett T28 turbochargers, which produce maximum boost at 0.85bar, replacing the standard cars' T25s. A revised fuel pump and larger injectors cater for the M400's improved performance.

 

Working with leading automotive engineers, Roush Technologies, Noble has developed a bespoke engine map for the M400, which makes full use of the power and torque available in the mid- to top-end of the rev-range, allowing the 3.0-litre V6 to pull strongly right up to its 7200 rpm limiter. The maximum 425 bhp of power is now produced at 6500 rpm (300 rpm up on other models) and the maximum 390lb ft of torque at 5000 rpm, with 75 per cent of this figure available from just 3500 rpm.

 

 

 

 

 

its a 3.0 duratec motor beefed up from a taurus which is actually a bored 2.5 which started in the contour. amazing what the car's body has to look like for the engine to get some respect. there are several 400whp+ contours and cougars with that motor but they cant hook and go 13.0@120mph or some crazy shit

I didnt want you to have to find a new one, for I thought it was a very good choice in picture but had the curiousity in what was in the corner.

the more i looked at it, i thought it was a dude or something. i like the new one.

A guy I know traded his 06 Viper Coupe that looked identical to mine for a Nobel and hated it. Said it's completely just like a Kit car. I can't imagine taking a step backwards from my Viper, I don't care how fast/cool it is.
