So i was either a 1st or second gen. If it was a 5 speed it runs 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and has 225hp at the crank. They were also faster than the 5.0 mustangs of the years they were made (1989-1995)

I come from the 3000GT/Stealth world. A TT Stealth is all about the driver. When they first came out several magazines only got mid 14's out of them because they didn't know how to launch them. Something as simple as a manual boost controller, intake, and test pipe and they are mid 12's on stock turbos.
If you ran into a non turbo Stealth, then yes it was a waste of fuel. 5 speeds run lower 15's and the automatics are 16 second cars.

VR4's are all wheel drive, all wheel steering. They range 13.6 to 14.1 in the 1/4 mile and anywhere from 5.2 to 5.7 0-60 stock, they're not slow.
Sho's are slow parents owned a 92 5 speed upper 14's to low 15's in the 1/4 and they all have junk transmissions. Find me a Sho with a unmolested tranny that still drives and I'll be impressed.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.

I would wager to say that a VR-4 Stealth was equal to the vettes of its era (mid-to-late-90's). I personally have never seen a mid 90's Taurus SHO run nothing less than mid to low 14's. I have driven several, and as a Police Officer, I have been to many driver training schools. Im not NASCAR or a professional driver, but I know how to drive a car on the street, track, or wherever the bad guy might take you (me)..I.E....fields, small streams, corn fields, pasteurs, bike paths, peoples yards...LOL. Anyway, IMO, our cars lightly modded would easily take the SHO of the 90's and the N/A Stealths. And yes, sometimes its all about the driver and not so much the automobile.
