Welcome to this GTPlanet Cool Wall Public Opinion Poll.

The subject for this poll is to re-establish the Cool Wall rules on:
  • Purpose built race cars and heavily modified race cars.
  • Concept cars and prototypes.
  • Modified cars with non production status.
To clarify each of them, purpose built race cars are what NASCAR, the NHRA, Formula 1, and many other racing series currently use. They are not road legal, nor usually for sale at an affordable price. Heavily modified race cars would be like the 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.8 and early NASCAR modifieds.
Currently, race cars are allowed to be nominated to the Cool Wall. Four are on the wall currently

Concept cars and prototypes are not allowed, none are on the wall, and they are easy to explain. They may look either great or horrid, but most times it's merely a mock-up or a rolling chassis. These cars are merely there to show-off, obviously, and I believe as beautiful as some have been, there's no place on the wall.

Modified cars are a gray area, and the best example is the 2001 A:Level Volga V12. Why? because while it does look good and run, it is a rebodied car. A rebodied what, I don't know, but is also not in production. There are cars that are modified that DO have production status though. RUFs, the Singer 911, the Hartage E46, etc. The laws for these are that the modifications are so far beyond mere upgrades that they can be classified as a new model in thier own right. This is how GT and Midnight Club get aroung Porche's exclusivity deals.

The Poll will be open through Friday, and it is multiple choice. Thank you all for participating.
 
It's about time!

The current rules on the car-types in question should remain the same.
 
The results:

GTPCW001: Race cars on the Cool Wall.
18 votes 'Yes' to 8 votes 'No'. Rule Sustained- Race cars will continue nomination eligibility.

GTPCW002: Concepts/Prototypes on the Cool Wall.
15 votes 'Yes' to 13 votes 'No'. Rule Overturned- Concepts will now be eligible for nomination.

GTPCW003: Non-Production Modifieds and Customs on the Cool Wall.
7 votes 'Yes' to 16 votes 'No'. Rule Established- Customs and Modifieds will not be eligible for nomination.

No one can say I didn't give the people a choice in the matter. It will be interesting to see what concepts come up and how well they do.

The Cool Wall Request thread will be made soon. Prepare your nominations.
