Oh, I'm sorry. Lest we forget the Ford Focus control stalk/headlight control panel.

Basically, it's being pointed out since homeboy is making a thread for what every 16 year old kid with a Civic, an Ebay account, and $50 is doing every evening across the country.


Just saying. High end price usually means high end parts.

IMO these cars are NOT worth anywhere remotely close to the MSRP, I was involved with a shop that was building the Noble M12's in Louisville a few years back and they're REALLY not nearly all they're cracked up to be... MUUUUCH better cars on the market for that price range.

TO each their own...

I was actually proved wrong on another forum. You can option out a Porsche Cayman for over $135k that wouldnt come with HID's.

this post made me laugh along with the next one.

Considering its porbably the first rossion in the country with HID's i figured it deserved its own thread.

And you called me homeboy.

Care to elaborate on why it made you laugh? Other than a "funny becuase it's true" sorta way?

First Rossion with HID's? Cookie? So you replaced the headlight bulbs with an HID kit. Awesome. It's no different than what I've said before, it's just on a more expensive car that should have been equipped with them to begin with. I mean for fucks sake, don't some Hyundai sedans come with those shits now??

And for the record, anyone who buys a $135K Anything that doesn't have a ZR1 badge on it is wasting time and money.... just sayin'....

How is the Noble M12 not worth it? They're not the fastest things on the planet, but they handle superbly and stop in a fucking hurry. They weigh, what, 2000 or 2400lbs and have 300-600hp engine packages? When I rode in the one with Dean I think he said they were 70 or 80 grand. Pretty slick and damn good performer for the money if you ask me. Just my .02

Ok that is gay. Happy you got a nice Rossion but don't be a ricer. That's like buying a Porsche and bragging about being the first Porsche in the world with altezzas. You might as well put a NAWZ sticker on it and claim to be the first with that as well.

As a matter of fact I will. I have a spreadsheet of part numbers for parts these cars use from other companies, a lot of them being pretty low end shit. I'll gladly post it up for you. These are just expensive kit cars more less, if the internet wasn't around, there would be adds for these to put together yourself in the back of Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Not saying they aren't well performing cars, just overpriced when you actually see how they're made and what they're made from.

I know they use a reworked 3.0L Ford pick up truck motor. Doesn't make the car anymore shitty.
