Mistubishi GTO => gone
Eclipse => gone
Silvia / 240SX => gone
S2000 => gone
Celica => gone
323GTX => gone (spiritual successor in the MS3, but that's gone now too)
Old NSX: Ferrari-beater => New NSX: bloated hybrid
300ZX: twin turbo sexiness => 350/370Z: ugly as hell

Old vs new WRX - I'd call this one a wash
Old vs new Miata - wash
Escort Cosworth => Focus RS - wash
Old ITR / CTR vs new CTR - wash
R32/R33/R34 vs R35 - wash

86: New
Corvette: Better
Camaro: Better
Mustang: ?


True.
Out of your list above I for one would love to see new versions of (provided they stuck to the right recipe)

The supra, Escort/cosworth, RX7 and the S2000
