I'm curious to know how some of your big power M12s compare to the M600? I'm keen to know your 0-60, 0-100 & top speeds if you've ever been able to test them. Andy's, as far as I know, has more hp per ton than an M600, but is it as quick? And what about acceleration when already at high speed? I was on a run with a Carrera GT a few weeks back and at 70mph he pulled away from my 3R like I wasn't moving!

Mine is a bit quicker all over, I have only been in the Baby Blue one but the M600 is a step up, the ride is far more refined, it is more stable, it is less frantic and far less of an effort.

Adrian, I'd like to see that video of Chris Harris in yours again. Could you post the link please or are you out of touch with Nobles?;)

I would imagine most of the very high power M12 would keep up with the M600 up to 150-160 over that we have a problem with drag and gearing , the M600 will do a genuine 200 mph something I do not think anybody else has got near in a M12 .

M600 is quoted as doing 0-150mph in 14 seconds I think? although i must admit I was expecting it to be similar to the F1's 12.8s.

Veyron supersport is 0-150mph in 10.2 seconds a which shows how fast the M600 is as it has 1200bhp!

My Motec Telemetry shows I do 0-150mph is well under 10 seconds, closer to 9 although I suspect a sub 9 second run would be possible. But then the maths do say it should be faster as I have more power and torque and 300kgs less weight!

In cold slippery conditions when I struggled to put the power down and feathering the throttle, the 2014 GT-R that was following me was flat to the floor to keep up... in warm conditions with warm tyres I have been able to use full throttle in every gear including 1st!

Well that for me is as good as it gets. What good is 200mph to anyone? It's just so you can say 'I can do 200mph' and never ever actually do it. However, getting from standstill to 100-150mph quicker than cars that cost vast amounts of money is very impressive.
Andy, now you know what you do to get to the current set up you have, I'd be curious how much it would cost as a one off project. i.e give standard 3R to someone to turn it into yours and then compare it to purchase price of an M600. I imagine the carbon fibre body wouldn't effect performance too much over fibreglass?

Not including the carbon body, Cost in parts alone would be 30-40k I guess... Labour would be the biggest cost. It's accumulation of the mods that makes it fast, not a single one.

I've spent well over £100k on my car over the years, not including the purchase price and I am still spending :-(

Yes performance is fantastic, but it's never going to be as refined as the M600 as they spent a proper amount of time and money developing it as a package.... and realistically you can buy a track car that's faster than mine lol
Saying that I just filled mine with super light dynamatt etc and fitted a Genesis amp and sub.... I'm going soft :-)

I would think that the Volvo Yammaha V8 in the M600
Would be good for 1000bhp+, but then no doubt would run into the same problems that we have in big powered M12.
Maybe Noble will do a Ltd run say 10 higher powered M600s that have paddle shift and 800+bhp, and of course the mandatory rear wing. if not for any other reason than to prove they can and show they are moving forward all the time with there Tec. Let's call it a track version of the M600 like the M400 was to the M12.

We are yet to see one in comp? Lmp2? Be great to see one at Le Mans. Would do great things for the Marque

Great - not seen that before, might be worth adding it to the Video wiki?

Shouldn't be a problem if you drive naked, remove all hair and take a dump before driving....
