GTP Cool Wall: 1969-1971 Manic GT

Looks like a fun little car

I mean honestly who would ever live in Canada.

Can confirm!

Uncool. Unfortunate-looking little contraption connected to hilarious-sounding names. You'd have to tell people it's "Manic", that no, it isn't a kit car, but it was created by a guy named jack-about. No, really, that was his name! Did I mention it's Canadian? While some of us surely know how to drive (a much more famous Jacques proved it), our track record for cars is about on par with the Leafs.

I would have voted cool, but it's called a Manic. When half your family has bipolar disorder, a name like that seems a bit offensive.

I find the name 'Manic' for offensive when used on a car with only 65hp. Even if it does only weigh 658kgs.

It's a sad story.

This car was supposed to be everything I love. Lightweight, affordable, it's svelte and it's got enough power. It's the kind of car we enthusiasts desperately need right now. Everyone is so immersed in a pointless race for MOAHRRR POWAH AND MOAHR COMPLEXITY AND MOAHR WEIGHT that they forget that a driving experience is supposed to be fun.

Plus, having this car where I live would be AWEOSOME. It's easy on gas, it looks like a Ferrari (well, not that I actually think that, it's just what every common person in the streets would say), and it's a Renault underneath. We're drowning on Renaults and Renault parts here.

After reading Dennisch's post I've fallen in love with this thing. Sadly, it's not a car that I think people would consider cool. I wish I had one to enjoy and be uncool in .

Can not stand the look of it. Looks, to me, ghastly.

It looks like a block of wood carved into a car by a retarded Boy Scout. SU for me.

Stepping out of a kit car is uncool, even if the car itself only merely looks like one.
