What is the GTP Alternative Car Cool Wall? It's a place to nominate any car that would normally be disallowed from the normal Cool Wall (which closed in November). Such cars would be race cars, concept cars, prototypes, tuner specials, one-offs, and pre-production models.
Rules:
Race Car Nomination
Year(s) raced, Car Name
Picture of Car
Engine: Include engine displacement, configuration & number of cylinders, (name of engine not required but helpful)
Power: Please use Horsepower
Torque: Please use Foot Pounds
Weight: Please use Kilograms, (separating each variant helpful but not required)
Transmission: Include number of gears and type of transmission
Drivetrain: Please state where the engine is (Front, Mid or Rear) and which wheels are powered (Front, Rear or All)
Racing class: Please state the title of the group the car raced in (NASCAR, JGTC, Pikes Peak, LMP1, F1, BTCC, etc)
Additional Information: Optional, but here is where you can include facts that may swing someone's vote
Tuning Car Nomination
Year modified, Car Name. For example, the car being nominated is a 1970 Nissan 240Z which was customized in 2018. Use 2018 as the year, not 1970.
Year of original production: For example, the car being nominated is a 1970 Nissan 240Z which was customized in 2018. Use 1970 as the year, not 2018.

Body Style: Include amount of doors, and car body configuration
Engine: Include engine displacement, configuration & number of cylinders, (name of engine not required but helpful)
Power: Please use Horsepower
Torque: Please use Foot Pounds
Weight: Please use Kilograms, (separating each variant helpful but not required)
Transmission: Include number of gears and type of transmission
Drivetrain: Please state where the engine is (Front, Mid or Rear) and which wheels are powered (Front, Rear or All)

Because it may be challenging to find certain information when it comes to concept/prototypes/one-offs, torque figures and transmission type is not required to be part of the nomination. However, if you can find this information for the car being nominated, please include it.
How it Works:
The Placement Formula: Sub Zero is worth 2, Cool is worth 1, Uncool is -1, and Seriously Uncool is -2. Meh votes carry no swing weight, but they are included in the total votes. So you add it all together, then divide by the total votes, and that results in a number between 2 and -2. Now, The Cool Wall also changed under new management, and now has 7 sections, as seen below. These sections correlate to that resulting number. They are, in order: 2.00 to 1.56 (Ice Box), 1.55 to 1.00 (Sub Zero), 0.99 to 0.11 (Cool), 0.10 to -0.10 (Vanilla), -0.11 to -0.99 (Uncool), -1.00 to -1.55 (Seriously Uncool), -1.56 to -2.00 (Hell).

Thanks to @TheBook, @Tornado, @Joey D, @boiltheocean, @BKGlover, @White & Nerdy, @Jahgee1124 and @GranTurismo916 for being the former proprietors of the GTP Cool Wall. Also, a big thanks to @Joey D again for establishing the clear rules and standards currently in place.
Rules:
- Each member is allowed to nominate up to two cars at once. Nominating three or more cars at once is not allowed. Once a car you've nominated is given a polling thread, then you are free to make another suggestion.
- Do not nominate any of the exact same vehicles that have already been polled. I am not responsible for accidental re-polling of cars. It is the nominator's job to make sure that their car has not been polled yet.
- Cars similar to ones already polled must have a significant difference that makes them a separate entity. If your nomination is questioned, I will tag you in a post asking you to defend your nomination, you will have 24 hours from that tag to provide a good enough defence, or you will be knocked from the queue.
- Street cars are not allowed to be nominated. Only nominate race cars, concept cars, prototypes, tuner specials, one-offs, or pre-production models.
- Modified production models from official performance divisions such as NISMO not are allowed. Modified production models from tuners that are unaffiliated with car brands/ unofficial performance divisions, such as Veilside, are allowed.
- Coachbuilds are not allowed. These are being defined as a car that uses the unmodified production underpinnings, but has a custom built body.
- Only modified cars from verified companies (Veilside, Liberty Walk, Rocketbunny, etc) are allowed to be nominated). Not just any modified car can be nominated.
- In order to nominate a race car, the race car that is being nominated must race in a series (NASCAR, JGTC, LMP1, etc).
- A nomination must have different specs, or be different enough visually from a previously polled/nominated car in order to be a valid nomination.
- Only nominations made in this thread will be added to the list, please do not write on my GTP profile, PM me or e-mail suggestions.
- Make sure to get your nomination right the first time.
- If your nomination is correct, it will appear in the nomination queue below shortly after the nomination is made.
- If your nomination is incorrect, I will list off what info you need to correct your post.
- Posts that need fixing will lose their spot in the queue if another nomination is posted between the incorrect nomination and the final correction.
- Cars will be selected in chronological order, so it's first come first served.
- Nominations, rules suggestions, and other directly connected discussion only here. Save debates for the polls.
- Please try and be original.
- Fixed nominations go to the bottom of the queue.
- Use the quotes provided below, replacing what I have put in for your own correct information.
- The Cool Wall curator reserves the right to find a different image than the one the car was nominated with.
- If your nomination is not in the queue, please tag me in a post and include a link to the post that contains your nomination.
- You may change your nomination whenever you want. However, any changed nominations will be pushed to the bottom of the queue.
- Race cars, tuning cars, and concept/one-off/prototype cars each have their own separate nomination guidelines. Please follow them.

- Polled cars will be placed in one of seven sections determining coolness.
- Placement on the wall will be determined by a voting formula.
