If your Ruf is too slow.....
Think I'll change me user name to blotthehawkslayer:D
The Noble M12 made the cover of the March Car and Driver. On the cover they announce that the M12 is capable of 0-60 in 3.3 seconds! There is a two page article inside that gives a glowing review of the Noble. Here are the performance test results printed in the article: Noble M12 GTO-3R 0-60 mph ................................3.3 sec 0-100 mph .8.1 sec 0-150 mph.... ..26.6 sec Standing Ό mile .11.8 sec @ 118 mph Braking, 70-0 mph .167 ft Road Holding, 300 ft-dia skidpad .1.00g |
I reckon the americans do their performance testing by eye - they always seem to be able to get "unusual" figures. Guess it's the same with their BHP figures too - no doubt that noble would probably have 400whp on their dynos ;)

Serious gauntlet settler. I really mean it. You are both expected to attend :D Don't forget Corradoboy, if this is at a circuit, you will have had to arrange a team of servants to brush the track with dustpan and brush, washed it, and painted a 'ruf lane only' and arranged for not a cloud in the sky within 100 miles of the british isles for the hallowed stuttgart shed to make an appearance. Need to be careful now tho as secret pics of hawk track testing have just come through............ http://www.motorbase.com/pictures/co...e-be-fvmax.jpg |
Details are ; 3rd WYIOC trackday at Rallydrive. Still finalising details, but it should see 20+ Scoobs & Evos (plus owt else that fancies it) having free reign of the basic but adequate circuit for the whole day at minimal cost.
As for all that special treatment, when I had a ride in Pauls car it was dark, damp and quite dismal. The thing went like stink though :cool: 70 to 1 <cough> hund <cough> irty ahem, ah that's better, was mighty impressive. The standing start on a greasy surface certainly put my Scoob to shame, I'd estimate it just under 4s, so I can't wait for a dry go :D |
