   Lemming-ness.

   There's very little difference between the various model years, but a
few people have won in '93s, so now everyone thinks you need a '93.
Before a few people won in '93s, everyone wanted a ( lightweight ) '91,
because they were convinced no one could win a heavier '93.

   The only really significant differences are, '93+ has 15" wheels,
versus 14s for the earlier cars, 94+ has some cosmetic changes which make
them more desirable to 18-20 year olds, and hence, significantly more
expensive.  Non-California '93+ allegedly have 5 additional hp from a
different head, but I'm not sure that's ever been verified on a dyno.

   There's a list of options by year, here ->
