    What discontinued sports car would you choose?

    If you had to pick a discontinued sports car, what would it be? Let's say under 20,000$ and above 10 years old.

          I'd have to go with a Stealth RT/TT or a 3000GT VR4.

              Either a 74 Lotus Europa or a Jenson Interceptor.
              Although I'd like a 71 MGB GT.

                Ferrari F50.

                Or to be more reasonable, maybe an RX7...

                    If it was $20K when new :
                    Shebly 427 Cobra
                    Hemi Cuda (not really a sports car but don't care)
                    '69 Chevy Nova SS (not really a sports car but don't care)
                    '58 Corvette

                      Booooo, the only cobra that was worth anything was the original, mainly cause it was a euro car with a pickup engine.

                          Ah, i misread that, i was thinking of a later cobra, the original shelby 427 is the only american cobra worth a damn, so i'll agree with you there, i just don't know the different model names because i usually refer to that as a shelby cobra (plus you had some muscle there so i thought you meant one of the ones made by ford), and i don't like american muscle much. Now if you were to ask me about more recent car models i know those like the back of my hand, which is why i worded my choices how i did, to see how many people would get it.

                            I just threw up in my mouth a little. Id rather have a 30 year old 911 than any year 928. Thats just an atrocity (sorry Lo).

                              I'm a pocket rocket guy so i would lean towards:

                              1995-99 Eagle Talon TSI
                              1995-99 Eclipse GSX ( I know it's still in production, but the models since 2000 have been a disapointement.)
                              Any 3rd gen RX-7
                              Supra would be nice, but prefer the looks of the rx7.
