[Jim Prower]

Even with those unflattering wheels, when you know what it does...Sub-Z

 

[Eric.]

x11.

Needs MOAR WATANABES though.

 

[JCE]

A 70's Japanese sports car? I'm in, SUB-FREAKING-ZERO. I LOVE this body style.

 

[Keef]

An icon of Japanese performance, and yet nobody in the US even knows what it is. Most people around the world have probably never heard of it.

Sub-zero.

One of the first Skylines! Also related to the Datsun 510! Sub-Zero baaaayyybeeeee!

Exactly.

 

[Spacegoat]

Sub Zero without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[Punknoodle]

I've been waiting for my nomination to be polled! I want one of these so bad, sub zero x 1 million

 

[mPWRD]

Meh. To a serious enthusiast, you're a god, but to everyone else, you're just driving an old Datsun. Great car, but just not cool.

 

[Eric Demory]

The Skyline is my dream car, of course it deserves my sub-zero vote.

What you just described is exactly what makes some cars cool!

To us, yes, but in the spirit of Top Gear's cool wall, I just couldn't vote cool. Don't get me wrong, though... if i had the money, a 2000GT-R would be one of my first purchases.

 

[C-ZETA]

Ice Box, simply because it is a legend among legends.

 

[Zenith]

This. Legend of a car, but not cool. It's quite boring to look at and could easily be mistaken for a junker from a few feet away.

Meh

Now, I understand how 99% of the world will not think this car is cool.

I simply don't care.

Only a percent of humanity would even take a second look? Who cares? I'm in that one percent that thinks this car is sub-zero. Am I answering for humanity? No, I'm answering for myself. And I say this is one of the coolest cars to ever grace the roads.

Sub Zero

It's KPGC10 btw (the "C" is a very important part)

Only GT-R cooler in my opinion is the next gen GT-R, the KPGC110.

 

[motortrend]

This is a Gran Turismo forum, of course a Skyline will get SZ, especially this one

 

[Lucas]

It's a great car, with an amazing background and an even more incredible legacy. But if I were to vote, I'm not sure I would vote it Cool, let alone Sub-Zero. There's something that makes me think that people wouldn't stop asking you things about it, if you owned one.

 

[Thatman]

Ah the Rx3's main rival, cool.

 

[Dan_]

I simply adore these things but in all fairness, it doesn't have anything even remotely cool about it.

It isn't practical or beautiful, and if you aren't a gamer or a japanese car enthusiast (and there is quite a bunch of people who aren't) you wouldn't even know about it. You would just assume it's an old datsun owned by the family over the years and that has been kept in good condition for sentimental value, or that the owner is either a car nerd or way too poor to get a proper car.

Uncool.

 

[Eric Demory]

The only people who are not cool, are the ones who did not vote sub zero.

 

[JJ72]

It isn't practical or beautiful

It's amazing how you can post so well when you are practically blind.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Instant classic. 👍

 

[ranhammerR34]

Wow I adored that car in the first Shift. Still do. Sub Zero.

Eh...I don't know. The later GT-Rs (R32-34) probably wouldn't, due to percieved "fanboyism" over them.
