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

[Sage Ages]

Yeah, the Z06 is kinda obvious that it's different.

 

[GranTurismo916]

The Shift key and Caps Lock are right next to each other on most keyboards.

The latest Corvette is also in the queue despite having already been polled.

I know the 2014+ Stingray has already been polled. But the Z06 has not.

 

[Legro]

Yeah... And when people run out of Mustangs to nominate, someone nominates a special edition C7 and the Corvette becomes the new Mustang...

 

[GranTurismo916]

someone nominates a special edition C7

Except you can't, so...

 

[Epic B]

The Stingray has 455 HP, while the Z06 has 650 (Got these numbers from the nominations/threads)

Yeah. I knew the Stingray was already polled, but I figured the Z06 was sufficiently different enough from the Stingray.

Not to mention the extra aero parts, the 8 speed auto, being a little wider (for track purposes, tires are wider as well), better brakes, and tuned suspension.

The Stingray does have the 8 speed too.

 

[Dagger311]

The Stingray does have the 8 speed too.

Really? I always thought it had a 6-speed auto and a 7 speed manual.

 

[Legro]

Except you can't, so...

The car hasn't gone out of the production yet. There's still a chance for a version that is different enough.

 

[Epic B]

Really? I always thought it had a 6-speed auto and a 7 speed manual.

The current Corvette launched for 2014 with a 7 speed manual or 6 speed automatic. For 2015, an 8 speed auto was introduced, coinciding with the Z06 launch. All 2015+ Corvettes offer the 8 speed.

 

[GranTurismo916]

The car hasn't gone out of the production yet. There's still a chance for a version that is different enough.

I doubt it. In the C6 generation we got the regular C6, Z06, and Grand Sport. Those would be the only ones eligible to be polled separately, or they could all be polled together.

 

[Sage Ages]

Really? I always thought it had a 6-speed auto and a 7 speed manual.

I thought it was vice-versa.

 

[Epic B]

I thought it was vice-versa.

Nope. 7 speed manual, 6 speed (Now 8 speed) auto. The Corvette actually isn't the first production vehicle with a 7 speed manual. The 991 series 911 is.

 

[Crash]

Yeah... And when people run out of Mustangs to nominate, someone nominates a special edition C7 and the Corvette becomes the new Mustang...

The Z06 is not just a special edition Corvette. The Z06 is to the Stingray as a 911 GT3 is to a 911 Carrera.

1937 Squire 1500 Corsica

Body Style: 2 door, 2 seat roadster
Engine: 1496 cc DOHC I-4, supercharged
Power: 110 bhp at 5000 rpm
Torque: Unknown
Weight: 1050 kg
0-60: ~12 seconds
Top Speed: 100 mph
Gearbox: Wilson 4 speed preselector
Layout: Front engine, rear drive
​

Additional Information: The Squire 1500 was a British sports car manufactured between 1935 and 1939. Ten cars were built in total, and they cost as much as a Bugatti when new. The Squire featured an advanced iron block double overhead cam racing engine designed and built by British Anzani and fitted with a Roots-type supercharger designed by David Brown.

​

The preselector gearbox allowed for quick and smooth gearchanges without the need for synchromesh or a manually operated clutch, though there was a third pedal used to change gears. More about the gearbox can be found on Wikipedia under Wilson Preselector Gearbox.

The brakes on this car are 15.5 inch magnesium alloy drum brakes, which yielded excellent stopping power while keeping unsprung weight to a minimum. The suspension on the car was fairly simple, with a beam axle at the front and live axle at the rear mounted to semi elliptical leaf springs and friction dampers all around.

The car being polled here is the only one of the 10 production cars to be fitted with a Corsica body and was built in 1937.

A squire! Haven't seen one of those in a while, I know what I'm voting.

@GranTurismo916 does the Lister Le mans fall under the "no modifieds" rule?

I think it would be considered a tuner company in that case, but it's not up to me

Well, it's confusing because even though they've made cars like the Le Mans, XJS System III, and XJC. Though they've made more cars that are original, such as the Storm; Knobbly, LMP, Monzanapolis, etc.

 

[Roger the Horse]

The Lister Le Mans would most likely be considered a modified XJ-S.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I'd say so.

Also one of the first Non Supercars to achieve 100hp per litre with it's 993cc engine.

I guess so. That's going to confusing to change everything in the spreadsheet, the queue, and the OP queue though...

 

[Wiegert]

I don't see why you couldn't have just waited a few weeks. Unless you've got something else you're aching to nominate afterwards?​

 

[mustafur]

The main reason is I would rather have that car up then the option I had before and waiting about 3 months to get it polled is much longer then the few weeks it would this way.

That's odd, nobody else gets to use "impatience" as a reason.

 

[mustafur]

If it's not a good reason don't do it, I only had that up as an ''IF'' in the first place.

If anyone needs an idea, the Porsche 956 and the 962 haven't been polled. The 956 won Le Mans four times and is the current lap record holder at the Nordshliefe, and the 962, which was based off the 956, won Le Mans twice.

The 917 is currently sitting in the Ice Box.
