Been watching YOU for years . One of my favorites out there. Always quality material.

Normal people: "It was in a fire, pass." Tavarish: "So, the fire wasn't super super duper hot over here..."

The motors came from the old Ford contour SVT. Then Rousch racing does about 35-40k worth of internals, work, turbos. The M12 has standard turbos. The M400 has oil cooled turbos. They where brought into the US through 1G racing here in town by me. Then eventually split and moved to Florida (Ian and Ross the started Rossion) and Noble is currently owned by the Dyson vacuum guy now. I have quite a bit of knowledge on these cars as we used to put in the drive lines for 1G back in thr day.... There was about 450 of theee cars built worldwide. Most went to the track as track / race cars. I'd say over half have been totalled..and are gone. These cars are purpose built track cars. Contact me with any questions. Will gladly help with info where I can
