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

[Liquid]

The previous poll specifically and explicitly polled the Lamborghini Miura P400 as opposed to the P400S or the P400SV. We've had countless Mustangs polled to which the same complaint could be levied, and as I said, I'm not doing this to be easy.

Is it still the same car just with some tinsel on the side and maybe a few extra cubes under the bonnet?

We do levy complaints against other wafer thin repolls and trim level polls. I certainly do, anyway. Just because other people 'get away with it' doesn't mean the rest of us should start joining in.

Rules, damn it.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Oh, I complain about people polling cars that are identical to the untrained eye too.















If you really need it explained it to you, I'm nominating the P400S to make a point.

 

[Legro]

About the P400S being too similar with P400. It is.

Do I really need to point out that this is one Cool Wall poll, again?

 

[Wiegert]

@Roger the Horse The point being you don't have to be fanatical about a certain model to exploit the fact that some past nominations didn't take multiple variants of that same model into account (a la Mustang)? Just edgy?

 

[Jahgee]

@Roger the Horse I'll allow it, seeing as different trims were allowed in the past by other curators, I see no reason as to why it would be different now.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Does it really matter? All we're doing is rating how "cool" cars are here. Nominating two similar cars isn't going to kill anyone. The P400S is a valid nomination.

 

[Dagger311]

So, should I nominate the Z/28 RS then, because it has different headlights?

 

[Jahgee]

About the P400S being too similar with P400. It is.

Do I really need to point out that this is one Cool Wall poll, again?

I believe that that is too vague of a nomination, if it were nominated in that state but followed the current rules in place, then I would have disallowed it, as I did with this nomination of the G-Wagon

 

[JMoney]

The P400S is going to be a major disappointment. A bunch of guys are going to vote SU because Lamborghini, supercar, or the hype the P400 gets for being Steve McQueen's only car. Of course, I'll vote SZ because that's what it deserves.

 

[Jahgee]

Will this satisfy people in regards to the rules about trim levels and stuff?

• A nomination must have different specs, or be different enough visually from a previously polled/nominated car in order to be a valid nomination

 

[Roger the Horse]

So long as you don't apply the rule retroactively, that's a perfectly reasonable rule.

Honestly, I think the rule should be that one could easily explain the difference between the two nominations to someone with no interest in cars in less than twelve words, but it's not my cool wall.

 

[Liquid]

LMFTFY

• A nomination must be a different car, or at least a different generation of the same car

And this probably includes hot models and homologation specials too. For example, we've polled the Renault Safrane Biturbo and the Ford Fiesta XR2. Do we really need polls for the 'normal' Safrane and Mark I Fiesta?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Most people can tell the difference between a normal 80s Ford and an XR model, namely in that the XR model comes with tacky wheels and decals whereas the normal 80s Ford comes with... Normal 80s Ford wheels and a lack of decals.

 

[Sage Ages]

So, should I nominate the Z/28 RS then, because it has different headlights?

That's an option package, not a seperate model.

 

[Zenith]

I'm happy this rule is finally coming to fruition. We're only about 5 Mustangs too late

Was originally going to nominate the XT6 but I found out that one of the coolest features of the XT, the ultra rad gauges, wasn't a feature on it. So, changed it to the normal XT. There wasn't much of a visual difference anyway. The 30hp increase probably would have swayed votes for the 'power output that no one knows about defines car coolness' crowd perhaps but I doubt with a car like this the votes would of been any different anyway.

This car is the, except for the XT6, the hardest car I have ever had to get decent pictures of. The reason there is only two pictures of the rear is because those are the only two decent ones I could find. The XT6 was even worse, only one actual picture of the rear and it was of a shoddy example.

These also had an awesome video advertisement:
