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

[CinnamonOD]

I wonder if there is anyone who knew that car existed before GT6 brought it to the masses.

It was completely forgotten after it was shown to the public in the 1970's, until recent years

I wonder if there is anyone who knew that car existed before GT6 brought it to the masses.

And I think you made a mistake with your engine specs, it actually is 491x2cc, equalling a total displacement of 982cc.

Fixing it right now. Did it have 2 engines powering it?

 

[White & Nerdy]

That's just how rotary engine displacement is written. A two-rotor engine of 982cc is written as 491x2 instead.

I have seen it done the normal way, however.

 

[Mark II Blit]

I don't think the Citroën BX Sport should have a go. It's way too similar to the BX19 GTi, which has already been polled, to be interesting.

 

[Famine]

Is there a link to see where it has been done already?

And I have a picture of you taking a picture of that.

 

[Roger the Horse]

I always imagined Famine as being shorter, and taller.

I'd first heard of it while wondering wikipedia a few years ago.

 

[Jahgee]

I always imagined Famine as being shorter, and taller.

I pictured him as 6'8" & 250 lbs.

 

[CinnamonOD]

I pictured him as 6'8" & 250 lbs.

With a beard that reached his knees, and a magical admin wand

 

[Jahgee]

Someone painted Famine

 

[daan]

I'm sure if @Famine were to wear a loincloth, it'd be purple.

 

[Azure Flare]

I'm sure if @Famine were to wear a loincloth, it'd be indigo.

FTFY.

 

[White & Nerdy]

Let the admins decide, I'm too spineless.

Hey, @Famine! Over here!

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Hey, @Famine! Over here!

Careful, for he will bring a gust of righteous wind upon the thread, and strike down thunders of purple glory.

The Countach 25th Anniversary was polled five years ago, and it fell short of the ice box. I believe this was because of the 25th Anniversary revised styling, which was reminiscent of Ferrari's Testarossa. The successor to the world's coolest car, the car that was featured on more posters than any other, the world's greatest supercar deserves a higher spot on the wall.

Seriously, how the hell has it taken this long for this car to be nominated!?

 

[GranTurismo916]

Seriously, how the hell has it taken this long for this car to be nominated!?

Because it's obvious that the rating is going to be similar to that of the Cadillac Cimarron.

I've had an idea that would... well, pretty much improve every aspect of the cool wall. When a car's thread is posted, instead of looking up different specs for the car and posting them in the OP, why not post links to various webpages that could give those specs? You could give links to the wikipedia article, a specs page, and to a review of the car. Theoretically it would take less time to post the cars, less time to nominate cars (as the only thing needed is a picture) and it would give voters better information to make more informed votes.

Because not all specs are sometimes listed on the same page.

You'll find this with a lot of muscle cars. Some sites only link horsepower. Others don't show 0-60 times. Some don't show weight. It's tough with some cars.

Yeah, and many (me) wont bother opening a new link to sift through a bunch of text for specs.

The person nominating should be responsible for providing thee basiic specs needed so WN can just copy/paste them into the OP under the pic.

And then changes them anyways

 

[White & Nerdy]

Sometimes I do change them for consistency, if a source contradicts the nominator on some points.

 

[White & Nerdy]

Yes, as a matter of fact the CW did take a day off. Completely. Because I'm too lazy to do it until late at night, and then I don't do it at all.

@Jahgee124, stay on standby. I'm very seriously considering asking you to take over temporarily or permanently.
