GTP Cool Wall: 1982-1986 (?) Lancia Rallye 037 Stradale

[aarror]

Sub-Freaking-Zero. Homologation special, last RWD to win the world rally championship, doesn't get much better that that.

If this thing doesn't make you want to hoon down the nearest dirt road, there's something wrong with you.

watch this:

God... That onboard with Juha in the S4 made my day...

 

[Crash]

Homologation special Group B rally car makes it really really cool, but I'm sorry, the 037 just doesn't do it for me like the Statos or the Delta does, even as neat of a history as this is.

Only a cool, unfortunately.

@xXKingJoshXx The problem was that you come out and say you never heard of it and thus it sounds like it gets an automatic down vote. Ignorance (don't take the word the wrong way) shouldn't be a factor in what is cool or not. I don't care if you like or dislike WRC it's not for everyone and that's fine I think, there is plenty of stuff I don't care for that others do. I guess I like to learn about everything especially car related just so I can say I know.

The only group B car I like more than this is the Compound Charged S4,but by not much. Not many road cars at the time were better than the 037.

Sub-Zero.

He didn't give it a down vote - he gave it a meh vote. Had he voted it (seriously) uncool because he hadn't heard of it, I could understand the constant questioning he's getting, but he didn't - he voted it a meh because it's of no interest to him. He didn't say 'I've never heard of it, therefore it's uncool'.

Personally, I love the rally version of the 037 (sub zero), but I've never been particularly enamoured by the road version (meh) so on balance it gets a cool.

Yeah and I said good on him, if he doesn't like rally then that's not an issue. It'd be like me being mad his favorite ice cream isn't rocky road.

My only point was I hope that people don't use the unknown as a factor in voting no matter what the situation.

Right now, the 037 is pulling a 1.732... it is solidly in the fridge, and currently cooler than an F40. 👍

 

[Sting]

Gonna go with cool on this one. The rear is a bit meh for my taste on the road version, (the rally version had Stratos style rear clusters I think, looked better) but I still prefer this over the Delta.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Looks beautiful, goes well, is a road rally car and it's a Lancia, sub zero.

 

[Tyger]

I love this car, I think it's beautiful in "stradale" spec too and immediately hit sub-zero. I really recommend throwing it around some in Forza if you get the chance, it's a lot of fun but must only be a fraction of the real deal.

it is solidly in the fridge, and currently forever cooler than an F40. 👍

Fixed.

 

[KinLM]

The end of an era, and a sexy ending at that. My vote should be obvious.

 

[CarBastard]

It looks fast and sporty but it doesn't look ostentatious like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. It looks outrageous but stylish, it's a definitely a looker. WRC credentials? Check. Absurd gobs of power? Check. RWD madness? Check. Italian? Check. Manual? Check.

Damn, it just ticks ALL the right boxes.

 

[Cano]

Absurd gobs of power? Naw.

Fixed.

 

[White & Nerdy]

And it's going in the Ice Box at 1.748. When I saw the poll numbers I thought we were going to see a new car in Steve McQueen's garage, but I guess not quite.

I still think the Superbird should have made it into McQueen's Garage.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I can't believe I never made a vote on this. It's my 2nd favorite Lancia (sorry, I just love the stratos more) and it was a Legend. Oh well, I would've gave it a sub-zero as well.
