The GTP Cool Wall started out as a fun little rip on the same concept from Top Gear, where people voted for cars based on how cool they thought they were. In the years since, it's expanded far past just voting, and into a unique archive of automotive discussion, where a thread can be found for almost any car you could want to read about. And if there isn't a thread for it already out of our 1400+, nominate it yourself! Participation is always welcome!

Rules:
  • It is appreciated that you post the car's information, but not necessary.
  • Only two cars per person until your car has been polled. Once the car is given a polling thread, then you are free to make another suggestion.
  • Do not nominate any of the exact same vehicles that have already been polled. I am not responsible for accidental re-polling of cars. It is the nominator's job to make sure that their car has not been polled yet.
  • Cars similar to ones already polled must have a significant difference that makes them a separate entity. If your nomination is questioned, I will tag you in a post asking you to defend your nomination, you will have 24 hours from that tag to provide a good enough defence, or you will be knocked from the queue.
  • Race cars are now allowed.
  • As of May 28th 2016, concept cars, prototypes and pre-production models will not be allowed regardless of functionality (post).
  • Modified production models from official performance divisions such as NISMO are allowed. Either as a standalone nomination or part of a nomination that covers the car on which it's based.
  • One-off modified/custom models are not allowed. If the car is questionable, I will ask for proof of production.
  • Coachbuilds are allowed. These are being defined as a car that uses the unmodified production underpinnings, but has a custom built body.
  • A nomination must have different specs, or be different enough visually from a previously polled/nominated car in order to be a valid nomination.
  • Only nominations made in this thread will be added to the list, please do not write on my GTP profile, PM me or e-mail suggestions. Doing so will earn you a 1 month ban from nominating cars for the cool wall.
  • Get your nomination right the first time.
  • If your nomination is correct, it will appear in the nomination queue below shortly after the nomination is made.
  • If your nomination is incorrect, I will list off what info you need to correct your post.
  • Posts that need fixing will lose their spot in the queue if another nomination is posted between the incorrect nomination and the final correction.
  • Cars will be selected in chronological order, so it's first come first served.
  • Nominations, rules suggestions, and other directly connected discussion only here. Save debates for the polls.
  • Please try and be original.
  • Fixed nominations go to the bottom of the queue.
  • If including the car's information, use the quotes provided below, replacing what I have put in for your own correct information.
  • The Cool Wall curator reserves the right to find a different image than the one the car was nominated with.
  • If your nomination is not in the queue, please tag me in a post and include a link to the post that contains your nomination.
  • You may change your nomination whenever you want. However, any changed nominations will be pushed to the bottom of the queue.

  • One poll will be made every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
  • The poll will be left open for two weeks allowing members to vote on the five levels of coolness.
  • Polled cars will be placed in one of seven sections.

Just a heads up, the LFA thread will be started either tomorrow or Tuesday, after the third P.O. poll closes, so I know how to set the voting up.

Also, I hadn't mentioned this, but with as little participation as I've seen (no offence folks, but 10-20 isn't an encouraging number, not when 70s and up were normal before dormancy), if the quere empties out I'll start thowing in whatever I can. I will not let this simply die.

Update 5/21: Rules are now set. Don't like them, should have spoken up.

What's so special about these rather crap figures when compared to the legends before it?

~ The car is cheap to purchase from just about any junkyard, and even on in perfect shape will run about $2,500.
~ The car is incredibly small, compact and light, more so in every dimension except width (only larger by 1 inch) than the famed Fox Body after it.
~ Managed 24-31mpg (standard and Stallion models), amazing by 1970s standards
~ Makes a cheap and powerful street machine, great for newcomers to the sport
~ Engine is extremely reliable, proven after 40 years of installation in production vehicles, many of which are still on the road with high miles
~ Engine can be woken up to be a real performer with the slightest of mods. Ex. Complete exhaust system, intake and carb will yield 80+ horsepower. More expensive mods such as heads and cam will guarantee 150+ horsepower increase while staying on pump gas
~ HEFTY availability of aftermarket powertrain parts
~ Turns heads more than most Mustangs because of the awkward styling and overall rareness/scarcity
~ Tall geared rear and with a good tire combination yields perfect acceleration and top speed without sacrificing either
~ Because of the lightness of the car it can become a really quick car
~ Car is one of the biggest selling Mustangs of all time, it came at a time very much needed.
~ Despite popular belief, the Mustang II only shares 10% of it's parts with the Ford Pinto.
~ IMSA recommends earplugs for anyone that gets within 10 feet of the car

Does no-one want a piece in this? It's been a week without nominations. If I run out, I promise I will find some of the most vile possible suggestions.

This isn't closing, and now that the Cool Wall has been reordered, I plan to go two polls per week, Sunday night and Wednesday night.

Bring on the picks!
 
I guess I was expecting lots of responses. Like seemingly everthing I do, not many get behind it until I hand it over to someone else, then everyone, their dog, and their dead grandparents get behind the motion. Probably frustration taking hold on my end.

Under everyone else, the request had to be limited and cut-off. At this rate, we'll be done in two months.

Choose an optional 383 CID with 4 barrel V8 or the 440 V8 with dual exhaust. Optional roof mounted luggage rack with over 23 square feet of load space. Along with trailer towing package that'll let you pull up to 5,500 lbs. (Source)

1990–1995 Mazda Eunos Cosmo, JC series
images


Body Style: 2-door coupe, 2+2 seating

Specifications:
Engine: 1.3L 13B-REW OR 2.0L 20B-REW
Transmission: 4-speed automatic
Wheelbase: 2,750 mm (108 in)
Length: 4,815 mm (190 in)
Width: 1,795 mm (71 in)
Curb weight: 1,490 kg (3,285 lb) OR 1,640 kg (3,616 lb)
Top Speed:180 km/h (111.8 mph) OR 255 km/h (158.4 mph)
0-60: Unavailable

Why is this special and cool: A few different things. First would be the 20B-REW engine, a triple-rotor rotary engine. Largest displacement ever offered on a production rotary-engine car. Made over 300 horsepower and around 300 lb-ft of torque.

Another cool point is that it got the dual sequential turbocharger setup in both engines offered before the FD RX-7 did. It also had many technological advancements as well, such as being the first production car in the world to get a GPS option.

Cons: Not many in my eyes, but including;
~Heavy fuel consumption when being pushed;
~Price; [The JC Cosmo was expensive even by today's standards, as Mazda still has not matched the sales price of this car some 22 years later for anything else in its range.]

Trabant 601

Production Run: 1963-1990
Drivetrain: FF
Body Style(s): 2-door sedan, 2-door station wagon, & doorless jeep.

Engine: 0.6 Liter, 2 cylinder 2-stroke
Max Power: 27 HP @ 4200 RPM
Max Torque: 38 lbs-ft @ 3000 RPM
0-62 M/H (0-100 Km/h): 21 Seconds
Top Speed: ~70 Mph (~112 km/h)

Length: 140 in. (3555 mm)
Width: 59.3 in. (1505 mm)
Height: 56.7 in (1440 mm)

Total Produced: 2.8 Million​

Fun fact: Top Gear's claim that the Trabant was made of cotton is partially true. The car used a steel monocoque and the hood, doors, fenders, bumpers roof & trunk lid were made from Duroplast, a plastic reinforced with recycled material, including wool and/or cotton waste. However, the body couldn't be properly disposed of, as it wasn't able to be recycled further & burning the body would create toxic fumes.

Based on the Holden HSV Commodore, this Aussie bruiser is a gentle giant that can be as docile as a Ford Fiesta, before demolishing rivals in huge clouds of tyre smoke and supercharger noise. It's simple caveman-esque nature compared to an equivalent E60 M5 make it a barrel of laughs when driven hard.

This record, mainly due to modifications to the circuit, would not be broken until 2010 when the Joest Racing #9 Audi R15 TDI+ of Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Mike Rockenfeller ran a distance of 5,410.7 km over the course of 397 laps.

Also, in qualifying for the 1971 24 Heures du Mans, the Gulf-sponsored polesitting #18 car of J.W Automotive Engineering set what remains as the fastest lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe ever recorded, a 3:13.900! Admittedly the reason this lap time has not yet been broken is again, due to the modification and installation of chicanes at the circuit, primarily in 1972 and 1990, but the feat still remains impressive.

Also. I have to say it. Steve McQueen.​
