Here's the deal...I'm old enough to remember a 1996 Supra and I'm able to afford an RC-F. I guess the answer would be to get BOTH!!! Collecting 20 year old cars is not something the younger, less financially stable crowd does. When you combine wealth and fond memories, it's hard to pinpoint what a person considers a classic and willing to pay for. That said, there are many cars I admired during the 80s and 90s, that would get my attention if they were well maintain and on the road.

Not everyone wants a 20 year old Porsche. Some folks would pay top dollar for a 1994 240, because it invokes memories. An E36 M3 still gets my attention and the last one rolled off the line in 99-2000.
I got it, I wasn't thinking of it that way but it makes sense..

I agree. And there are a lot of cars from the 70's, 80's and 90's that would also get my attention if I saw them on the road today and they were in good condition.
