Did a few mods, but not many. I figured I'd do it now while the engine is going in. Might be easier this way.
Stock, the car is pretty minimalistic.
425 hp
390 lb/ft torque
2337 lbs curb weight
I figure it's really not going to need that much more HP to perform.
This car, the Noble M400, is supposed to be:
0-60: 3.5 seconds
0-100: 8.0 seconds
Quarter mile: 11 seconds
However, Car & Driver just tested the GTO-3R, the model below the M400. The GTO-3R has 352hp, 350 lb/ft torque, 2380 lbs. They got:
0-60: 3.3 seconds
0-100: 8.1 seconds
Quarter mile: 11.8 at 118 mph
I'm guessing the M400 may be able to beat manufacturer's estimates.
Here are some things I picked up.
A toothed ring for the driver's side wheel. This will allow wheel speed sensors to work.
Here's what it looks like installed. You can see the wheel speed sensor & wire:
The rear axles do not need it, as they already have a band that the wheel speed sensors can pick up on.
That allows me to use the Racelogic programmable traction control system.
That system allows you to pick the amount of wheelspin you want, 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, or system off. As you guys know, max grip happens around 10% slippage.
The one I got also gives you launch control, which puts a secondary temporary rev-limiter, so you can launch on boost.
It also has the full throttle shifting option, with a secondary soft limiter and another hard limiter. That way, I can shift with my right foot completely floored. It requires a switch for the clutch:
