+1. Vicki is awesome. She has a freaking Ducati for god's sake!!! Just look at the Evo VI v. Evo IX episode, she loves the Evos and looks great (and jiggly) driving them. She is a bit goofy, but that's what makes her a good TV person. There's a great recent episode where she drives the Pagani Zonda F Roadster... nice!



see, she loves the Evo

I still think the show is a bit biased. I had commented before about the lambourghini video and the evo, I just don't believe a UK champion touring car driver spun a murcielago being followed by an evo.

But the noble is no joke and would definitely hand the evo its A$$ on most courses.

An M400 has a much lower center of gravity, much better weight distribution and makes 425hp with a curb weight of 2340lbs. Both cars have R compound tires stock. The evo weighs about a 1000lbs more making a smidge less hp. Of course the M400 killed it.

i see....

I just didn't really know the specs on that cars. And seeing the Evo beat a lambo in the other video made me question why it was losing in this one. But it sounds like the m12 is a race car hands down.

Both cars are awesome,

The FQ400 is a better car overall, it could race the noble, get second place, then follow to a rally race, win there, and go pick up the kids, get some groceries and get home... ummm...

One big difference in the Lambo race is they were on the track at the same time and the Evo was basically trying to keep up, and when the corners were really tight it could push the Lambo out, which it did.

The Noble race was one at a time for pure lap time only. It may not make much of a difference, but maybe if that lambo were to race the Evo just ***** out pure lap time only, it would win. Neither car was probably taking the very best lines in that Lambo "race"...

what are you talking about? most people on here are readily saying that the noble is a superior track car!

some quotes from this thread:
-If you look into those Nobels they are by far and wide the best car you can buy.
-the Noble is basically built for the track. It's no shame "losing" to a car like that!
-Noble's are almost untouchable. One from Richmond runs Summit with the Ferrari club and betters all but the FOW's challenge prepped cars.
-Add in a Noble that tips the scales at about 300 pounds less weight than the Evo and what did you think would happen?
-I'll take a Noble over my Evo anyday.
-But the noble is no joke and would definitely hand the evo its A$$ on most courses.
-An M400 has a much lower center of gravity, much better weight distribution and makes 425hp with a curb weight of 2340lbs. Both cars have R compound tires stock. The evo weighs about a 1000lbs more making a smidge less hp. Of course the M400 killed it.
-Both cars are awesome

noble owns evo in the track...

some of you evo owners need to hop off the evo and give it a rest....it's a great car...not the greatest...great for it's affordability and ....talents.

for some reason i do feel she wasn't a worthy enough driver..."feel" ...

good vid
