READ THE OP! GTP Cool Wall Nomination Thread [Always accepting more cars!]

[mustang fanatic]

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429​

​

Layout: Front Engine, Rear Wheel Drive
Style: 2 Door Fastback

Engine: 429ci 7.0L N/A Semi-Hemi V8
Horsepower: 375 (deliberately underrated from 500+)
Torque: 450 lb-ft

Transmission: 4 Speed Manual (No Automatics Offered)

Weight: 3,870 lbs

Length: 187"
Width: 72"
Height: 50.4

Other Info: First Mustang ever to feature a factory rear sway bar, could rev over 8,500rpm for extended periods of time, 1" lower ride height than all other cars as well as other minor features. The engine liked to rev, so lack of low end power made 0-60 times suffer. Unlimited, it's said the car can exceed 175mph top speed (which I believe given Shelby's personal GT500 did it). No confirmed proof however. Power steering was mandatory, but no automatic transmission or air conditioning was offered.

You really should start putting a thread up every night. This back log is getting stupidly huge.

[Sage Ages]

Of course.

 

[Slash]

I'm actually rather surprised no Boss has been nominated yet. Not one.

 

[Sage Ages]

No cool wall today?

 

[Famine]

No cool wall today?

Steady on, it's Sunday. He's probably out visiting the in-laws or living his life.

 

[Sage Ages]

He usually posts it in the early morning and he last active at around 6am. Seems a bit unusual.

 

[Slash]

Like I said, we really need a thread-a-day thing.

 

[JMoney]

Like I said, we really need a thread-a-day thing.

It's be nice if there were someone else to post cars on the days White n' Nerdy doesn't post.

 

[Jahgee]

I'd be willing to do it if it's wanted and W&N is OK with it

 

[Slash]

I agree. The backlog would be reduced greatly, and we could plow through more cars faster.

 

[Azure Flare]

You just want your Mustang Boss 429 up so that you can have another Fordgasm.

 

[Slash]

Well, that would be nice but that's not what I am going for

 

[Azure Flare]

Sure it is.

 

[CarBastard]

I could help as well. If we have two people, one can create a thread one day and the other on the next day so that it doesn't become tiresome but we still have a thread per day.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I'm definitely willing to open threads as well.

 

[Slash]

As am I. There's definitely no lack of interest.

 

[CarBastard]

As am I. There's definitely no lack of interest.

At this rate we could have somebody in charge of the Cool Wall for every day of the week!

 

[Jahgee]

I call Tuesday

 

[Slash]

Pick a day for me

 

[Azure Flare]

I'll pick Saturday for me.

 

[Adamgp]

I think W&N does a fine job with the cool wall. I don't mind if he takes Sundays off.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

The faster the cars get up on the wall, the better. I'd say that W & N might be super busy updating the OPs of here and the results with a newer pace like that.

Not to mention keeping track of all wall posts and all. What this is going to do is put more work for him. This'll work if many people can own the right to edit one post.

And another thing: BOSS! BOSS! BOSS!

We love you Mustang Boss!

 

[White & Nerdy]

@Custom878 @Famine I was too busy procrastinating something else. Also, I got more hours at work, and have not gone to bed at a reasonable hour for at least several days, so was tired and unmotivated in general.

As to the time thing: Alaska time. CW posts usually go up any time between 11PM and 2AM my time, though I have occasionally tried to get it done earlier, and I often hang around after posting to await replies.

RE new poll every day: I've thought of various ways to cut the backlog, but the every-other-day posts have become un-fun enough as it is (hence why I usually don't bother to post them until late at night). If I were to try posting another one every day, I'd drive myself nuts.

Perhaps some kind of alternating system as suggested could be arranged, but right now I'm not sure.

 

[Slash]

Probably best if an alternating system was done.

 

[EvanJamesLee]

I think my next nomination after the LLV could possibly match the Lamborghini Miura.

I have nothing but respect for what it achieved and its lasting legacy as a champion.

Looks like we have another potential Miura beater! Think it'll beat my nomination of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale?

I think.

Here's a hint

 

[SomePlayaDude]

From here on out, my policy is simply no more bull:censored:. We gotta get that Miura a partner. I have really low hopes for my Isdera to even reach cool though.

I have one car in mind, and it baffles me that it hasn't got up the wall yet. And it's not Italian.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I think.

Here's a hint

Model T Ford?

 

[EvanJamesLee]
