91-93 VR4’s were 1st gen. Subsequent years got another 20 HP with a couple of stand out years seeing sub 5 second 0-60 times.
One of our local PCA members got married, and had kids. He sold his SC and bought VR4 back when they were fairly new. He liked track days at the Hallett, OK track. He had driven his SC on track dozens of times. He took the VR4 to the track and totally ate up the brakes in two 20 minute sessions, and had to drive home very carefully, mostly using the emergency brakes. So the VR4 was pretty fast, but had very inadequate brakes for a day at the track on street tires. The killer was the guy that bought his 911, was there on track for the 4 - 20 minute sessions and had no issues.
