Oppositelock Cool Wall Update

Welcome back to the Oppositelock Cool Wall! In this bi-weekly series, we take a look at five cars and vote for their position on the cool wall. This series mimics the now-defunct Top Gear Cool Wall.

As I had intended, the majority of you thought these cars were at least cool. The Aston and the Ferrari were cool, while the NSX, R390, and F1 were sub-zero. What’s even better is that no one thought the F1 was seriously uncool!

I’ve had to make the cool wall a bit taller because we were running out of room in the cool section! I also made the Vanquish fridge larger because some people couldn’t tell what it was.

Today we’re going to Japan in the 1990’s and taking a look at some of the best sports cars they had to offer.

I wanna know which fucknards think the R34 is seriously uncool.

I’m surprised I am not the only one who voted uncool for the R34. Guess some people do indeed have taste.

Kinja'd!!!

Should we be applying the “If any one of us has one, it must be uncool” rule here?

No. There are almost 3000 people here!

I also voted uncool. Nerdy. special. neat. yes. Cool? no.

What up.

One of those was mine. The cool wall doesn’t care if a car is great, like the R34 is, only if its cool. Its not cool if only car geeks get it or you have to explain it to someone.

MultiplaOrgasms > HammerheadFistpunch

The R34 has become something of the obvious choice, the safe option.

HammerheadFistpunch > TheHondaBro

Caveate on the supra cool vote: stock vehicles only, or minimal mods.

HammerheadFistpunch > MultiplaOrgasms

There is something to the forbidden fruit angle (for the US) but I don’t think any GT-R is “cool”. Great cars, but never cool.

MultiplaOrgasms > HammerheadFistpunch
04/30/2015 at 15:24

Granted. From a technological perspective, it remains the pinnacle of 20th century automobiles.

HammerheadFistpunch > MultiplaOrgasms
04/30/2015 at 15:25

Technology isn’t cool though, otherwise the Zune might have been a hit.

R Saldana [|Oo|======|oO|] - BTC/ETH/LTC Prophet > TheHondaBro

Ok, so the more prominent Oppo cars should automatically be uncool. then :)

I firmly believe that the R34 was the last Godzilla, the R35 is a Godzilla-wannabe, just like its a 911-wannabe

Why?

R Saldana [|Oo|======|oO|] - BTC/ETH/LTC Prophet > My citroen won't start
04/30/2015 at 15:54

Because we are all “Car nerds” so nothing we would own can actually be cool right?

Top Gear approach

The R35 was another attempt at beating the 911 Turbo, as all previous GT-R’s have.

The ST205, and really any Celica/Camry/Corolla AllTrac, should always be Sub-Zero.

Herr Quattro - Has a 4-Motion > TheHondaBro
04/30/2015 at 16:42

I’ve never heard of R34 vs. 911.

Besides, I’ve formed this opinion that alot of R35s are owned by classless idiots, which is probably untrue but still.

TheHondaBro > Herr Quattro - Has a 4-Motion
04/30/2015 at 16:56

Maybe you should read up on the history of the GT-R.

Explain!

Somewhere in the comments section, you’ll find all the explanation you need.

R32+ was designed to be a porsche fighter. Especially with the R34 as porsche made the 911 turbo an AWD twin turbo monster in base form, and then made it god-like with the various other trim levels like GT2 or Turbo S or X50 and whatever the hell else they did with it.

But R31 was the last of the analog skyline performance models. R32 was a technical powerhouse and a display of what Nissan could do.......which was inspired by Porsche pretty much following through with the 959 at great cost and difficulty to show the world just what happens when you give a building full of German engineers unlimited coffee and budget.

That’s how top gear did it, if you owned a car it automatically became uncool

Just FYI...I’m purely answering off design. SO SCREW YOU, THE SUPRA IS SUB ZERO.

I consider it the dream car for ricers everywhere besides DeMuro has one.

You would be absolutely correct if it weren’t for one simple thing: the Fast and Furious franchise. Those era GTRs will always be associated with gorgeous blonde surfer dude, Paul Walker. Thereby making them cool

Yeah but in 2001 cd walkman’s and frosted tips were cool....

Voted a solid series of Cool until I got to Godzilla for a Sub-Zero.

I don’t know... I guess it’s the fact that the R35 isn't based off the skyline like the others were
