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.
