"Professional drivers" yes, but AWD was a relatively new thing back then. I ran consistent 13.6x's and 13.7x's at ~101mph when my car was stock, just a tad better than their 14.1 @ 99
The only review I've ever seen where the author properly launched a vr4 was done by Popular Mechanics, and he got a low 13 out of it.
