Gotta new toy
Gid E Up, where's that road course Stang of yours? I got something for it.
Picked it up yesterday in Cincinnati. 2100 lbs & 425 bhp. I'm taking it to Barber Motorsports with Chin Racing this weekend to hopefully learn a bit more about driving it.

2005 Kleemann Stage 3 E55
Congrats D,
Looks like an F/A-18 on steroids
Hope you don't follow my lead and park your E in the gararge for long periods of time.
2005 Mustang has an entirely new suspension and only a few motor mods. The plan is: Suspension first, Track time second, Horsepower third. Car handles beautifully.
Here are some photos that a friend took at a recent track event: http://brandont.smugmug.com/gallery/665672/1
Keep the rubber side down. Barber is an awesome track

Just can't imagine throwing that into a corner. Bet your kidneys are gonna get thrown all over the place.
Enjoy....if you are ever able to.....a DerekFSUE55 with NOS/ Nobile drag race video would be something I would pay to see!

Congratulations. I've never seen one in person, but it's supposed to be a great car. I remember seeing a report on it (maybe on Fifth Gear?).

Very cool. Is it US street legal? Not that you plan to drive it much on the street. I think it was 5th Gear that reviews the Nobles quite often. They always have good things to say!

Thanks for the love. It is street legal. It's registered in the US as a component/kit car. It's completely assembled in South Africa except for the engine. They ship the car and the engine here in two boxes and then the engine is added. That way they are exempt from emissions and airbag requirements.
It's the M400 which is just under $100k. Eric, that stang looks sweet in white. Looks low, very low.

Congrats. That car is going to be a blast on the track. I had the pleasure of watching one being put together by the boys at Renntech for one of their customers. It's cool to have what virtually noone else has, and turn almost every head saying "what was that?"
