Not this one mate, it's got the works and would show this Noble how its done.

I'll take anyone on, on the track.

You're not getting the point, nobody wants to drive a nova or be seen in one, apart from the local chavs. It doesn't matter how fast it is, at the end of the day it's a vauxhall nova.

Yea they do! Especially nicely modified ones like mine; they can't be beaten for the money.

Instead of wasting money modifying your nova why don't you just buy a decent car in the first place. Get yourself a proper hot hatch.

I would say it 'IS' a proper hot hatch due to having supercar like performance, and no it's not my car.

I think with that kind of power etc. it could definitely be an ultimate hatchback.

If it's not your car and nobody has mentioned what performance this Nova has, how can you possibly say it has 'supercar like performance'?

Because I've seen what these turbo engined nova's can do.

And their lightweight combined with high power gives them great performance. Fact!

I've seen Nova c20let 2.0 turbo's in action, they are lethally quick, but a Noble M400 has 400hp/ton, a nova 250bhp c20let Nova has about 275hp/ton, so it will get absolutely sat on! And handling will be a walkover for the Noble.

I have a 190+ bhp Corsa 2.0 Xe which is in the review section, year 1993. I love my Corsa, it's cheap and very quick, but a Noble is in a different league; in fact it's about 4 leagues ahead.

This is utterly hilarious. A Nova fitted with a Saturn 5 rocket wouldn't keep up with a Noble. Thank you Mr Nova man, you have made me chuckle.

This comment section is legendary. A Vauxhall Nova even with "tuning" will unlikely never keep up with a Noble M400, M12 or whatever super-car.

What's hilarious is at the time the comment was written he was probably serious - I swear those boy racers back in the day that had a Nova, Corsa, Saxo, Fiesta, any car like that, genuinely thought they were super-car beaters! Fun hot hatches for sure, but please compare them to comparable cars, not super-cars!
