I agree with everything you've said except that one.
Read this:

Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1:
1/4 mile - 13.6 @ 106.0 mph
Toyota Supra Turbo:
1/4 mile - 13.5 @ 107.1 mph
That's against an
LT5 (405HP) ZR1 'Vette. An LT4 (350HP) would have lost even worse.
And here's a Supra that was run by a magazine with a better driver or in better conditions:

As for
98MitsuTurbo, check this out:

Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4:
320 bhp @ 6000 rpm
315 lb-ft @ 2500 rpm
Maximum engine speed - 7000 rpm
Curb weight - 3810 lbs
1/4 mile - 14.2 @ 99.0 mph
Toyota Supra Turbo:
320 bhp @ 5800 rpm
315 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Maximum engine speed - 6800 rpm
Curb weight - 3550 lbs
13.7 @ 105.0 mph
The trap-speeds alone should tell you something.
While you're at it, check out the acceleration graph they made of each car.
I was going to reply to you last night, but since I like backing my claims up with proof, I waited till today to pull these facts out. I was going to ask you last night what you are smoking, thinking a stock VR-4 is capable of 12's stock...
