There's 5 skyline's up here 2 R32 and 3 R34's, but the VW R32 is more suited to auto-X than drag racing. Stock for stock it is about the same speed as the 1.8T in the 1/4 mile. AWD adds ALOT of weight and parasitic loss compared to FWD or RWD. I know Subaru's lose about 30% of their HP to the wheels, i would assume the VW is about the same.
