Aklim the OBD1 port was used up to 1994. Most 95 cars got the hybrid obd1 system with an obd2 port. For the obd1 cars you can scan and data log with obvious limitations in bandwidth similar to the obd2 cars. I was actually out a few weeks ago streaming from my 90.
And yea Zak said it best, its all about the feeling of an occasion.

According to the M3 folks, the vette wins. Street, track or strip. But they like their back seat and generally don't seem to think much of Corvette drivers.

A C5 will run faster laps than an E46 M3, hands down. A base, stock, '92 C4 will run just about the same as an E46 M3. How do I know? I've tracked my '92 with my best friend who had an '04 M3. They were neck and neck, all day long. Only diff was that his oil temps was over 300* and mine was ~280....his car is probably easier to drive at the limit, my car is more fun.
But what's it matter; is the OP tracking his car against other cars or against a clock? If not, buy the car that is more FUN.

This is a great thread, appreciate the OP for starting it, and everyone's opinion - I've read every one, and it's made me think.
I've had a C4 and C5, and have test driven a handful of C6's so far. Every time I get out of a C6, I think for the money, it's not that much better. Then I think how much I miss my C4. I'm actually holding back from going to look at used C4's, as I know It'll will be hard to resist.

That's been covered several times in just this thread alone. Older vehicle=more fun, in some people's opinions.
Also realize that even older vehicles have a higher price. What's the reason for that price difference?
