1 car can cause so much drama :rolleyes: I wonder what will happen when the 6th gen Civic is polled.

My vote for M3 GTR Race Car: Sub-Zero
I love the car and the way it sounds (excluding the sounds in Gran Turismo)
Oddly I voted it high because it's a race car. Wasn't really aware of it being a race car to be a bad thing other than not being road legal to drive whenever you want as someone stated before.

>tfw standard car in GT6 means seriously uncool

(Well, I don't actually vote here. I'll just put that GT6 picture here. ;))
 
many people think the road car was cooler so I decided to nominate that.

Can't wait to see how that goes. Homologation special that failed to actually homologate the race car, not available for anyone to buy or use....

... don't get me wrong, I love the car, I've even got, umm.. had, an original sales brochure for it. I just wouldn't be surprised if it was SU for pretty much the same reasons as the race car.

+ This car made Porsche scared that they had to report it to FIA because the M3 violated a few rules in ALMS.

To be fair, the idea is that they needed to build and sell a number of them for it to be legal, they didn't. I believe there's only actual evidence of 1, which makes the Road car rarer than the race car. Rules are rules.... it was good enough to stuff Porsche whilst it was not deemed illegal.

Prepare to be disappointed, and this isn't a competition.



Why?



Seriously uncool.



Too bad this is a cool wall rather than a like wall, then.



What does this have to do with anything?

What?



That is the coolest stream of arbitrary, meaningless, unmemorable letters and numbers I have ever encountered.



So they cheated? Not cool.



Statistics are the coolest thing in the world bar chartered accountancy.



This isn't a competition, and the 917 in the Ice Box suggests that that just isn't the case.

Who pissed in your cornflakes?
 
On top of not having the S54, the GTR Strasse Version was selected to represent the E46 in Enthusia Professional Racing, denying me the opportunity to enjoy a standard M3 or CSL in that game, so I have a small grudge against it. And the exact same thing happened again with Forza Horizon. :lol:

Replacing the shriek of a high-revving straight six with the monotonous snort of a V8 is a crime against coolness.
 
As much as I like this car, reading these made me cringe:

Well known for being the "Most Wanted" car in NFS. Last appearance in NFS, NFS Most Wanted 2012 as part of the NFS Heroes Pack.
Game/s appeared:
NFS Most Wanted 2005(Main car until Razor took it and reclaimed it after winning.)
NFS Carbon(Main car until Cross totaled it for good. Available in a reward card.)
NFS Most Wanted 2012(Available after beating "Most Wanted M3 GTR" event after buying NFS Heroes pack.)
Forza Horizon(downloadable content)
GTR Evolution
Race On​

+ Its the hero car of NFS, and I was always thought many people loved this car, besides who would want a Schnitzer liveried M3 GTR in a street racing game? Too bad Cross had to total it in Carbon. And for those who think this is the only ALMS car that appeared in a street racing game, well you're wrong. In Most Wanted, Chevy Corvette C6.R was also featured in the game and also in a police vinyl by Cross.

Dropped to Seriously Uncool, due to NFS fanboys.
 
It definitely isn't meh, not by a long shot, but I just don't love it.

Cool.
 
I don't car whether it was in NFS, because M3's are solid cool cars. More so as a race car
 
I've always loved the sound of the M3 GTR 2001-2004 (I vote cool), but didn't want to drive it in Nfs MW, so what I did was replicate the sound in GT2 and GT3:

The original



My replicas (sound only)




*ps - these are hybrids, but are on topic, if it violates TOS, please remove this post

Why would you bump a 2 year old thread cool wall thread?
 
Yeah but if you want to start a thread to talk abotu a car or reply on similar thread about a particular car, that is fine. But bumping Cool Wall threads while there is a poll going on for a small duration of time, even if it's now already over, not exactly the best of ideas.

Requesting lock, please.

He's putting more effort into keeping things neat, more so than most members.

And that is something that I have to at least respect, where there's been quite the past of bumps we've saw, that wouldn't have much content to see in the already polled thread.
