I wonder why they don't make those anymore? Maybe Toyota has something up their sleave
Toyota is supposed to be re-introducing the Supra. Not the twin turbo variant though, its supposed to be a V8 rear drive setup possibly based on a Lexus platform.

My personal object of desire though is one of two Porsches

that looks like something made out of lego.

funny how all the "simple" guys want a BMW I like the one bond has in "tomorrow never dies". It's a 750iL, mmm.

Toyota quit sending the Supra to USA for whatever reason, which eventually led ultimately to it's retirement. Now Toyota's "sports car" is the celica, pfff.

It's all about the viper.

900hp outta a 3.1L engine. mmm, rebuild!
That supra has an AB Flug widebody kit. Just the kit is like 10k USD!!!!! The supra was amazing though, the engine is bulletproof. A toned down version is in the current Lexus IS300...2JZ = goodness!

Danny, you might be interested in this, an "upgraded" Z06 to compete with the supercars of the world!:

Quote:
General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz won’t confirm this car exists, but he is not saying it doesn’t. We first wrote about Chevrolet’s ultra-performance Corvette—dubbed Blue Devil, most likely to catch the attention of GM CEO and Duke Blue Devil grad Rick Wagoner—shortly before the sixth-generation Corvette debuted at the Detroit auto show in January (AW, Dec. 22 and 29, 2004). We asked Lutz about the car during a recent exclusive interview with AutoWeek.

“Let’s just say [Corvette chief engineer] Dave Hill is not a guy who likes playing second fiddle to any high-performance car on the road,” said Lutz. “My guess is we’re going to find a way to do something beyond the Z06, that would be at a much higher price point, and which would compete with some of the leading high-performance cars of the world.”


Lutz said the car may be delayed while the company focuses most of its engineering might on pulling ahead profit-making vehicles like its next-generation large sport/utilities and pickups.

“But there is certainly no lack of desire on anyone’s part to establish the supremacy of the Corvette,” says Lutz.

Spied on the Nurbürgring, Blue Devil appears to be living up to the earlier hype. Eyewitnesses said the car sounds supercharged, confirming reports the engine is likely a blown version of the Z06’s 7.0-liter V8, producing upward of 600 hp. Look for lightweight carbon fiber body parts to reduce weight to about 2900 pounds.

Pricing will likely start somewhere around $100,000 if and when the car makes production in 2006.

My dream car would have to be a 1970 chevelle LS6 454 SS. But realistically I'll have to go with my close second a 1966 Pontiac Beaumont of which I already own. This is not a pic of my car (mine has been sitting in a shop at the farm for the last 10 years, waiting for me) but you get the idea.

I don't think the board will handle bmp files.
Can you convert it to a jpg?
