GTP Cool Wall: 1967-1969 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale

[OriginalCheezIt]

Uncool.

Would have probably gone with meh, but looks brought it down. I just don't find it all that good looking, IMO.

Meh. It's probably a decent car, but I find it pretty ugly looking.

You take that back!

 

[Slash]

There's nothing to take back

I just doesn't look great. Different tastes I guess. Never really cared for many European exotics and supercars.

Granted, that Ferrari with the blown 454 we saw the other day was AWESOME.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

This is so cool that even absolute zero is shivering from the cold. It's Italian, Mid-Engined, V8-powered, manual Alfa Romeo in red for crying out loud! I loved you, Miura, but it's time for something even more sexy.

 

[Jet Badger]

This car is the definition of sub zero. I don't remember anything this universally cool since Lancia 037 turned up on the 'wall. But the Alfa tops it. By a lot. You roll down the town in one of these and every single person will stare at it drooling. Even the blind. It's an italian, racing derived road car from the 60s. That fact alone is enough to make it super cool. Then we add that it's the most beautiful thing ever. What an amazing piece of machinery.

 

[Panoz]

So beautiful, so sub-zero cold.

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

So far, the rating is 1.722 (I am keeping this updated, by the way), placing the Alfa... back down below the 037 (blame @Jahgee1124).

Also, for anyone thinking of voting less than SZ...

Not too often will you find a car that can hand an 8C its own ass in a rev battle...​

Words cannot begin to express how little sense that statement made.

 

[GranTurismo916]

All I needed to read was "Tipo." Auto S-Z.

 

[Jahgee]

Just because you're begging for votes in the GTPlanet Status Update @OriginalCheezIt

Seriously Uncool

Really?

I backed you in the "T-Rex" thread...

Asking for votes in anything is never cool

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Asking for votes in anything is never cool

I never said that I was cool, just the car.

 

[Jahgee]

I mean you can't blame it all on me, in order to have a shot at beating (or even matching) the Miura, then 9/10 people must vote Sub Zero, and the 10th can't vote less then cool

And besides, if I had voted how I truly felt (Sub Zero BTW), then the car would only have a 1.764

I gave up on beating the Miura when I first checked it after I got home from school. I'm just trying to beat the Cobra now. Which probably won't happen.

 

[Jahgee]

Nothing is ever beating the Miura, the popularity of the Cool Wall has made that a fact.

That will probably be the only car in McQueen's Garage... and well, that's not very cool at all...

 

[GTPorsche]

Sub Zero.

 

[Jahgee]

I feel like anything that was polled prior to BKGlover taking over should get redone, to scale the results according to the current population of GTPlanet

 

[Liquid]

6 on the floor, V8 1960s Alfa Romero in red.

Sublime. Sub zero.

I wonder what the results for the Miura would be now. I get the feeling that it was really a situation of "right car, right time".

 

[Roger the Horse]

Yeah. I think that if the Miura got polled now, it would probably score noticeably lower. (It would almost certainly still make the ice box though.)

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Yeah. I think that if the Miura got polled now, it would probably score noticeably lower. (It would almost certainly still make the ice box though.)

And deservedly so. Personally, I would place it 4th coolest.

1. Alfa 33 (why I nominated it; to beat the Lambo)
2. Jaguar XKSS (in the pipeline, I'm excited for that one)
3. SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe (10th coolest on the wall)
4. Miura

I would put all four of those in the garage, mind you.

 

[Dennisch]

6 in the rear.

Eh. Eh. Eh.

You, sir, have an incredibly good taste when it comes to motorcars. That top 3 is exactly my top 3 👍.

 

[Liquid]

Heh heh.

Well, I meant that it is a manual. Superb machine.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

No response necessary really. SZ.

 

[JMoney]

I'll say cool, I've never heard of it and it looks funny.

 

[Turtle]

Subzero, only bad thing is that I can never decide which set of headlights looks better.

 

[niky]

First instinct: OMGHELLYEAHITSFREAKINGSUBZERO!

Then I open the thread, and take a look... errh... that's kind of unusual...

But then, so is Uma Thurman... still sub-zero. Still rocking it. Still worth a post-coital cigarette.

 

[motortrend]

Absolutely SZ, no explanation necessary

So far, the rating is 1.725 (I am keeping this updated, by the way), placing the Alfa... back down below the 037 (blame @Jahgee1124).

I don't know how there is a recording of that, I'd go weak in the knees and drop the camera
