GTP Cool Wall: 1953-1956 Porsche 550

[Roger the Horse]

I think that there was a more beautiful car than this at some point, but I can't remember what it was.

Here it is! Kind of a replica, anyway .

Edit, dammit, wrong photo...

Double edit: Right photo, I just had a brain fart. That was the only Vintage Porsche there.

Have to say that looks beautiful, although the E39 M5 rims are stupid... also there's a silver Porsche in the way.

Note that the man pictured is James Deen with his personal 550

Note that the man pictured is James Dean. James Deen is a different person entirely

Damn guys noticing my lack of spelling

 

[Roger the Horse]

It seems like there is a lack of correct grammar in your posts as well.

While the James Dean angle is overplayed... it simply illustrates the point... cool people buy cool cars. The 550 is not cool because James Dean drove it. James Dean drove it because it was cool.

Easy Sub-Zee.

Inexorably linked with James Dean, if not for the greatest of reasons. But still, immortalized by ultra-cool celebrity: SZ.

It's a solid cool.

Don't really have much else to add thats not already been said.

 

[Liquid]

Cool. And not because of James Dean.

 

[JMoney]

It's the first dedicated Porsche racecar. That alone makes it Sub-Zero.

 

[gt4rulez]

Too many replica's and its another porsche, meh

Celebrity link almost makes it uncool. All the positives ammount to a dry cool, altough I have never liked really one bit how it looks.

I know I might be flamed for this, but I voted uncool. It's an alright looking car, but I don't like Porsches in general since greedy EA has the licence to them, the looks are the one thing from me voting SU.

What does the EA licence of Porsche have to do with a car made in the 1950's?!?

It means I can't drive this car ever, reality or videogame.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Or you could buy Forza 3 on the 360, if you really want to drive it that bad in a non-EA game, and I'm sure it's been modded into rFactor by now...

I'm driving one in Forza 4 right now lol

I'd say Porsche is being greedy. They're the ones who keep on accepting money from EA.

If the car was really uncool why would you care if you could drive it? Doesn't the fact that you want to drive it prove it's cool?

 

[niky]

If people kept throwing money at me asking to use my likeness in a videogame... I'd say yes, too.

Sub-zero. The James Dean connection is a nice touch too, being a big fan of his.
