Default Nobel M400

Hey Mazda6 guys. On April 30th I was autocrossing in Frackville, PA and got to race with some pretty awesome cars. One of which was a Noble M400, its an import from South Africa. And interstingly enough it uses the 3.0l Mazda6 V6 engine! ...only its twin supercharged!!! this car was so nice, about the size of a Lotus Elise (tiny tiny). Very fast. Amazingly, i placed just one position behind him overall, only 0.1 seconds slower.

One of the pictures was taken on the course at Frackville Mall. The other picture is just an artistic shot so you can get a better idea of what the car is like.

And here is a link to Noble's USA website ----> Noble Cars - USA
