    The Ferrari F50 GT which Ferrari just strangely decided to cancel the entire project..man was that an awesome car.

    All F50 GT chasis have been destroyed (all of 3/4 of them).

    Yep, I'd love to bring the Delorean into the 21st century... ooh power steering, cd player, air-conditioning, leather interior, OH! AND A FLUX-CAPACITOR!!!
    I've seriously considered buying one of these beauties from e-bay, but then I remembered I don't have any money. :(

    I commend ye on yer taste of cars (apart of course from the Granada?!?!?! Hehe ;) )

    My choice would undoubtablly be the Toyota Supra (although some sites say they have 'new' Supra's, they are re-located unregged cars which havent been able to be sold in dodgy countries)

    Second choice would probably be the Mark II Escort.
    Third Choice in a tie is the Opel Calibra + VW Corroda

    No silly Ford Mustang GT's are still made, granted that the 1960s version is quality, this is a about cars that have been discontinued.
    To see a pic of a new mustang gt, go search google... :)

    The Vauxhall Calibra is a cool looking car aswell.
    Also i'd like to see the Ford Probe make a comeback, theres one in galway and it looks $hit hot.
    Heres a good page of Probe GT pics.
    Clik me

    :D

    No!
    I've never seen one around Dublin... and quite frankly I'm shocked Johnner and Anto haven't yet taken it out for a spin at 4am on a Saturday night... just to see if it really bursts into flames at 88Mph :)
    Must keep a lookout for it though.

    Oh hell yeah, i forgot about the Skyline, they only announced that it would be discontinued lately aswell.

    Skyline GTR is a sweet machine.

    I know what u mean toxicPaddy, theres nothing wrong with simplicity, as long as theres a CD player in i dont mind. :)

    the normal corrado is a great car.. but the 2.8l V6 model was the ultimate beast. unbelivably great to drive.

    personally i'd want ferrari to make more 288 GTOs or 250 GTOs.. but then they mightn't be as desirable in my mind.. so no. or maybe.. yes. no. yes. no. wahhhh

    I heard it won't be discontinued but because it's so hard to meet emissions regs it's going to be more of a poser than a performance car. WWMan would love one ;)

    I'd like to see them bring back the GT40 - oh wait! They have! :) I'd love to get me grubby lotto winning (finger's crossed) mits on one.
