Were the assembly instructions / videos high quality?

You are cute. You are aware there were 4 Noble dealerships in Europe. Where you could buy them turn key, right?

It's not like it's built on a 350z or something.

If I took the drivetrain out of my c7 and shipped the car to europe and the drivetrain in a different box and reassembled apon it's arrival, I wouldn't consider that c7 a kit car.

just like superformance for the cobra. Their stuff is great. Didn’t mean that as a cut down.

In that case, I didn't mean to get so defensive

Kit car is a dirty word with me now lol It's not like a Noble is built on a stretched fiero or something.

That is built using mostly mustang parts, right?

I would consider a Noble to be more "real" than a cobra clone. They had an m10, then m12, then m12gto3r (mine) then an m400 and m600 in that order. They were a stand alone car company. They are still in business even though Lee Noble left during the m600.

Jalopnik has articles anout Nobles newest track only car. Kinda looks like an RX8

Congrats!
I have huge respect for Noble cars. They have always been very well reviewed in EVO. Too bad more of their models didn't make it over to the States.

It's impressive to see a small car company develop a car that is so well engineered.
