These cars are underrated, this is actually a pretty slow time for a healthy second generation car. I had a '98 VR-4 that ran 13.3-13.4@102-103mph stock, MBC dp and intake and its easy high 12s. Motorweek tested a 94 VR-4 and got 60 in 4.9 and the quarter mile in 13.5@103mph.
Weirdly popular mechanics tested a 99 VR-4 and got a 13.44@101mph so the times I ran weren't too far off, you just have to launch it like you hate it.
Not for everyone , and you can feel the weight in the corners and the sheer size.

Some guy in the city where I live has one of these in his yard slowly rotting. I hope he does the same.
