READ THE OP! GTP Cool Wall Nomination Thread [Always accepting more cars!]

[SomePlayaDude]

I agree. I'll post one by today, and ready up another by the time I see an agreeable amount of nominees.

Besides, nobody wants to see 2 of my cars in a row.

 

[Jahgee]

Posting a second nomination before the Thanksgiving Special begins will disqualify you from the Thanksgiving Special. Also, regular nominations will not be closed, so if you don't have a car in the queue/your nomination gets polled on either Thursday or Friday, you are eligible to make your regular nomination unaffected by the Thanksgiving Special.

Cool Wall Special Announcement
From November 27th, 12 AM (22 Hours and 42 Minutes from the time of this post) until November 29th, 12 AM (48 Hour time span), you will be allowed to add a second nomination to the queue, as a part of a Thanksgiving special. You will not need to wait until both your nominations are polled to make a new one after this either, only the one not made during the Thanksgiving special counts as your one nomination.

I already know what I'm gonna add.

So I can make two nominations on the same post or nah?

I'd prefer if you don't, I'll make a post after your first one so that you don't have to double post.

I'm confused. Can I make one now and one tomorrow or make both of them tomorrow or what?

Up to you. I'd recommend making one now and making another one as soon as you can on Thursday and Friday.

Yeah. I'll do my best to update the OP, but from 3 AM to 11 AM, expect downtime where nominations won't be confirmed, as I will be sleeping.

I'd consider them separate personally.

I'm still not sure about that. They are technically different trims of the same model which is what's confusing me.

The Ford Mustang has all it's trims posted and it was deemed OK by the curators before me, so I'm going to consider them different cars.

Does this help you any?

Not really. I'm trying to find figures for torque and weight.

Time to see if the Miura will finally get a mate!


An engineering tour de force of awe-inspiring power and ability, the 1987-88 Porsche 959 was the "everything car" enthusiasts dream about - the one that can do it all.

1986 - 1989 Porsche 959​

Source.


The Porsche 959 was one of the 80’s ultimate supercars and may also be considered as the first car of the supercar species. 959 also stands for the superb technology platform in which the latest technical innovations from the famous Porsche development centre Weissach were included. It’s only rival at the time was another legend: the radical lightweight bi-turbocharged Ferrari F40.


Production Year: 1986 - 1989

Body Style: 2-door Coupe (uberwagen i.e the Beetle's class of car)

Price: $225,000

Engine: 2.85 liter, twin-turbo flat 6, boxer engine.

Power Output: 450 Horsepower

Torque: 370 lb ft

Top speed: 195 MPH (314 KM/H)

0-60: 3.7 seconds

Transmission: 6-speed manual

Length: 4,260 mm (168 in)

Width: 1,840 mm (72 in)

Height: 1,280 mm (50 in)

Weight: 1,450 kg

Tires: Bridgestone RE71 Denloc, especially made for the 959.

Drivetrain: Rear engined, 4 Wheel Drive.

My Take On This: There aren't enough Porsches on the list. Here you go! Have fun putting it next (or above) the F40!
