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

[Sage Ages]

Quadricycle?

 

[EvanJamesLee]

Quadricycle?

Four wheels.

*edit: I had a dumb moment and thought you meant a 3 wheeled car for some reason.

Its newer than that though.

 

[Azure Flare]

@EvanJamesLee I think I know what you're referring to, the Ford 999.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

CRAP, sorry! I didn't mean to post this yet. Ignore.

 

[White & Nerdy]

I was in bed when you posted it. You're good. Hopefully no one else saw it.

 

[EvanJamesLee]

@EvanJamesLee I think I know what you're referring to, the Ford 999.

No, but it is a racecar.

 

[Azure Flare]

@EvanJamesLee My last guess is the Sweepstakes.

 

[EvanJamesLee]

@EvanJamesLee My last guess is the Sweepstakes.

Nope.

Although I do think somebody should nominate that car.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

No, but it is a racecar.

Say goodbye to the Icebox. I think there are like 40% that'll vote low because racecar. It's weird, I know. I'm the sort that'll put the Chapparals and the 917 Subzero though.

Same goes with concept cars.

I have a little pizzazz up my sleeve planned, this combined with the car's amazing history should get people to reconsider.

(To everyone else, no more guessing please. I don't want to derail this thread to much more)

 

[Slash]

I doubt you'll get many to reconsider.

Don't think this has been nominated already...

2003-2008 Mazda RX-8 (231bhp version)



Engine 1.3 L RENESIS (Wankel)
(2003 Engine of the year)
Power - 231bhp at 8200rpm (redline at 9400rpm)
Torque - Some (OK, 156lb/ft @ 5500rpm)
182 bhp/tonne

Figures (from Autocar)
0-60mph - 7.1sec
Top Speed - 142mph
Standing qtr mile - 15.3/93mph
Standing km - 27.3/119mph

Although with a 50/50 weight distribution, straight line speed is not what the RX-8 is about. It's a good looking, fine handling, purpose built sports car that can seat 4 in comfort, and with a rotary engine and "freestyle" suicide doors there's certainly a lot to divide opinion...

Just for the LOLS

Mitsubishi Diamante

Production: 1995-2005
Engine: 3.5L SOHC V6
Power: 210HP

Mitsubishi Diamante

The Miura's days at the top are numbered.

 

[Panoz]

Ferrari 250 GTO

Production: 1962-1964
Body Style: 2-door sports car
Engine: 3.0L Ferrari Tipo 168/62 V12

Weight: 880 KG (1940 LB)
Dimensions: 4325mm x 1600mm x 1210mm (170.3 in x 63 in x 47.6 in)

I'm a little surprised that the oldest Ferrari on the GTP Cool Wall is the Testarossa.

Only 39 examples of this Ferrari has been ever made. 36 cars were made during 1962-1963 with 3 more made into a "Series 2" version in 1964. 4 older "Series 1" cars were also reworked into the "Series 2" body.​

[Badasp5.0]

I cannot wait till that vector comes up for voting.

 

[Slash]

That Vector is awesome.

 

[Azure Flare]

I remember the W8 in GT2, it was a land-bound missile.

Originally nominated by Soda01​

I was searching for a good car to post in the "Rate the vehicle above you" thread and this came to my attention. Really think we should poll it since it was the first ever RS Audi and is an extremely rare and interesting car IMHO.

Body Style: 5-door Wagon
Engine: 2.2L 5-cylinder Turbo

​

 

[Sage Ages]

I thought that was already done?

 

[Xilor]

Not unless they forgot to put it up in the Results thread

 

[Sage Ages]

Well okay then. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Hell yeah! That little 289 really screamed in that car!

 

[mustang fanatic]

It was an oven inside too.

2011 BMW 328 Hommage

3 litre twin-turbo straight six
305bhp-320bhp (going by the Z4 35i/35is)
780kg/1720lbs
Front engine, rear drive.

Concept car inspired by the original 328 and based on the second generation Z4 (E89). Uses a lot of carbon fibre and other weight saving tech.

1989-1999 Peugeot 605
​

The car in that image is not stock (it has aftermarket wheels and a bodykit fitted), you may which to change the image.

Say to this:

That picture is taken from a better angle to show the car as well, in my opinion. The one that you posted makes the car look far smaller than it actually is, more like a 405 than a 605. In fact, are you sure that it's a 605 and not a 405 in that image?

In other news, I think just found a clip on YouTube which perfectly sums up these cool wall threads:







Seriously, just change "eyesight" to "specific output" and you'll see what I mean.
