GTP Cool Wall: Lancia Delta S4. Voting Closed

[Irons]

You expected only 150BHP from a turbo-80s rally car?

Why yes I did actually. When I first saw this car, my mind had a "related results" moment. The cars I thought of were:

Of course, one detail I forgot to mention, I was much younger at the time. I'm also in the U.S. I haven't seen a single Rally Car race on TV, or over the Net. Well, because of a game that's widely discussed on this forum *cough cough* GT4 *cough cough* I now know what power this car cranks out, and because I was very wrong on determining the HP, and it was significantly
higher than I thought, it earns a big thumbs up from me.

Ah, the Renault 8 Gordini. Love those things.

Any Rally car from that season is a brutal machine!

I'm just wondering about this word "sleeper" that some of you use and what it actually means, if it means what I think it does, then this car surely isn't a sleeper? Although to be honest, definitions are fickle things.

Right you can vote without explaining yourself, however you are probably going to get called out on it especially if you go against the grain.

You have to realize that you don't have to explain yourself about it either, because you can't call someone out for having a different opinion. Even if they don't explain it. Especially regarding a completely arbitrary topic with absolutely no basis in facts.

It happens in the opinion forum all the time, I fail to see how this is any different.

The opinions forum also typically doesn't deal with topics as arbitrary as perceived "coolness." The opinions forum deals with opinions based on fact, and when they aren't is when they are called upon. Coolness, however, is just subjective opinions thrown at each other; and you can't call someone out for something when there is no factual basis to do so.

The opinions forum also typically doesn't deal with topics as arbitrary as perceived "coolness."

But it does deal with some rather subjective stuff, hence why you have an opinion and a debate on it. Global warming, gay marriage, heck even Obama's presidency is going to be split and in the end there is never going to be a universal correct answer. You give you opinion, you support it with why you think that way and then you defend your position. T

his is where I'm coming from on that, but like I said, if people don't want to take this seriously then whatever.

Any Group B rally car is cool, but this one lacks the flair and sheer insanity of the Stratos and the Metro 6R4.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Sub-zero. Group B, 'nuff said.

No, I would like them to give a reason for voting against the grain.

Sorry for voting against the grain, but I think it's uncool. It's just a badly-designed, ugly box (Those rear air intakes are hideous ). Yes, it was immensly powerful and fast, but that does not a cool car make. Cool Group B cars are the RS200 and the Metro 6R4. It's predecessor, the 037, is sub-zero but the S4 isn't.

This is where I'm coming from on that, but like I said, if people don't want to take this seriously then whatever.

Methinks you're taking it too seriously. I thought this was just a bit of fun.

And this is what you are supposed to do, nothing wrong with going against the grain and leaving some thought out reason for it.

Because I except some sort of quality? I thought that's what GTP prides itself on all the time?

The Metro is hardly pretty, the RS200 even less-so. Group B monsters were always about function over form and I think what makes the S4 cool is the fact that it has racing pedigree, it has history and a brilliantly focussed homologation car that blurred the lines between road-car and rally-warrior.

Definitely cool!
