Learn to speak english, it'll make asking questions easier.

1)Why don't you try them both? might seem a wierd approach but go and drive them and see which you prefer?

2)I'd rather Noble used a ford engine than suffered 3 years of cars dying due to a design fault in the head

3)Who knows which is fastest between typhon and M400, I'd guess typhon in a straight line certainly (bloody well should be with over 500bhp), I wonder if they've got that gearbox to work yet Now to even the price up how about an M400 with 18k worth of mods to it

Ok so the Duratec angine block is also used in the Ford Mondeo - live with it!

What is wrong with using a tried and tested engine and heavily modifying it to better suit an application (the Noble)?

If it goes well, then it goes well - end of story.

If the engine came straight from a Ferrari then I guess you wouldn't be complaining. Given this, I also think you would be the kind to go for an 'off the peg' Armani suite instead of a individually taylored (but unbranded) suite costing the same price.

I should point out that one of the above would fit much better than the other.

I think he'd choose the Asda £50 special if it had a TVR badge on it.

Let's not get into the where do the bits come from discussion for one-upmanship eh? People will bring up upside down vauxhall light clusters and it'll end in tears, mark my words.

Guys he's clearly a troll, just look at his post history. Not to mention the fact that he writes in a similar style to chassis.

.. and don't forget that aston V12 is just two mondeo engines stuck together .. you could always say it's half an aston V12 with two turbos .. that should shut up a few whingers!

Just the fact you've put TVR and Noble in the same heading will have alarm bells ringing at Bristol Avenue .. if it were my money and i were going for a pure driver's car I'd go for the Noble (oops bang goes my dealership then!) .. they're quite quite stunning .. I can't believe that with TVRs track record for eveil ahandling cars they'd all of a sudden be rivalling Noble for handling prowess no matter how vertical their latest rear dampers ...
