200sx vs VW R32

Thought it was a GTI, because i have seen a people in cape town do the whole R32 rear tail pipe conversion.
we are next to one another cruzing in 2nd gear, next thing i hear the VW come to life, so i push my pedal flat to the floor.
2nd gear he is about 1 and a half cars ahead, change to 3rd and i start pulling him in then we had to slow down because the robots caught us.
hoot and roll down the window, begin talking to the guy, "nice gti, quiet fast, i want to see what will happen from 1st gear" the guy just looks at me and says "it's a R32 and sure we can see what happens"
i roll up the window, but just enough so i can hear the r32's engine (never heard one before)
I was so excited to race a r32, must win
robots go green r32 shoots me off the line...haha, he must of at least been 3/4's of a car in front, change to 2nd and i am reeling him in, as i change to 3rd im next to him (the r32 sounded quite stock, probably was) and i overtake him (i look into my rear view mirror and see the shiny r32 badge), when i changed to 4th i think he began slowing down, because there was a wide sweeping bend up ahead, i braved the corner, tires squealed a bit but the car handled the corner like a champ (no not a champ bakkie hahah).
The robots caught as again and all i remember him saying was he top speed was "300km/h" and i just replied "my car is only a 1800...with a turbo"
I did some research on the r32, apparently they have a similar drive train like the new golf R's, some sort of four wheel drive set up.
