Indirectly already been polled. The full 190 range was polled in 2010 and included that car.

Thanks.

 

[Mike458]

Thanks.

Got it, will have another car up shortly.

 

[Stephan]

I got a question before I nominate, can a drift spec car be nominated?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Depends whether it's an official factory model or not.

 

[Stephan]

Hmmm, lets see, what about the Subaru Impreza D1GP car the one that Team Orange built?

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Wouldn't that count as a race car?

If that's the case, just fill in the class as: D1GP.

Here's my nomination @GranTurismo916

Marcos Mantis GT '97
Production Year: 1997-2000(Actually the Mantis had 51 cars with 16 being the GT version)
Body Style: 2door coupe/convertible
Engine: V8 charged, 4.6 liters(281 ci)
Horsepower: 499-500hp
Torque: 613 Nm(454 lb-ft)
Weight: 1100 kg
Transmission: 6speed manual
Drivetrain: FR
Max Speed: 288kph
In 1997 the Mantis name was re-used on a 2-seater coupé or convertible road car based on the LM series powered by the 4.6 litre all-aluminium quad-cam Ford 'Modular' engine producing 327 bhp (244 kW; 332 PS) and capable of 170 mph (270 km/h). To accommodate the engine the bonnet of the Mantis was significantly remodelled from the previous LM range (that used the Rover V8), and the upper chassis rails in the engine bay were widened. Price for the Mantis was £46883.

In 1998 it was decided to supercharge the engine to produce the first British production sports car with over 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS), this being named the Mantis GT. Using a Vortech supercharger, and intercooler the Mantis GT engine produced 506 bhp (377 kW; 513 PS), which could accelerate the car from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Price for the Mantis GT was £64331.

Production of the Mantis was 51 cars, with 16 being the supercharged GT version (this does not include the Mantis Challenge race cars).

It's still a modifed car that isn't factory backed.

 

[Jahgee]

It's still a modifed car that isn't factory backed.

I'd say really it depends if you count drifting as a form of racing. If you do, then it's a race car and therefore a legal nomination, if you don't then it's a modified car.

 

[Sage Ages]

Drifting is a strange case, since all the cars are modified production cars. Manufacturers usually develop cars or at least modified versions of them for certain other motorsports such as GT3, GT500, WRC, etc.

 

[Roger the Horse]

I'd say the issue is whether or not it's a factory product. A home race prepped Mazda MX-5 would be counted as a modified car.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Oh well we'll just have to wait for GT916's decision but for now I'll just nominate it

Subaru Impreza D1GP Spec Team Orange '05
Class: D1 Grand Prix Series
Engine: Boxer 4(will add engine displacement later)
Horsepower: 550hp
Torque:???
Weight: 1200-1100kg
Transmission: 6-speed Manual
Drivertrain: Front wheel Rear Drive(FR)

No. It's not a car officially built by Subaru.

 

[Stephan]

I see. Can I change my nomination then?

 

[GranTurismo916]

I see. Can I change my nomination then?

Yeah.

 

[jeffgoddin]

I see. Can I change my nomination then?

No.

You can't change something which never existed...

 

[GranTurismo916]

No.

You can't change something which never existed...

What? He clearly nominated the drift Impreza and it was rejected by me. I'm confused.

 

[jeffgoddin]

It was rejected, so he had no current nomination. How can you change a nomination which doesn't exist? He didn't need to ask, just make a new suggestion.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Oh yeah there was a nomination.

It wasn't a valid one.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Sorry, I'm a stickler for logic... same reason I hated Interstellar... ignore me

[GranTurismo916]

The other was owned by Bill Cosby (might make this car uncool).

 

[Stephan]

Ummm @GranTurismo916, I already changed my nomination, is there something wrong with my nomination?
