So on the diagnostics front... OBDII is inferior compared to plugging my network cable from the ECU into my laptop and pulling 400+ channels of data that shows me EVERYTHING. On the emissions front -- I'm not even going to touch that with a 10ft pole, not with the EPA losing their minds trying to shutdown our race cars lol.
That... and you probably couldn't pay me enough to spend the programming time on it, lol.[/url]

The only reason I asked about OBD was to see if there's a chance to use this on a street car. I understand what OBD is. I couldn't give a rat's *** about emissions or using it for diagnostics, but it would be nice to be able to get the car inspected so I can drive it on the street.
