Actually the 2013 gtr is faster in a straight line than the nismo. Every year 2015 and after they made the gtr slower/heavier. The nismo with the added aero is slower top end. There are completely stock 2013 gtrs 10.7 @ 127.

The stock tires are terrible also (run flats). Either way bravo to bmw for creating such a monster of a car.

2015 nismo >> 2017 nismo

Absolutely agree.



It is. Stock GTR's are pretty poopy in the mid-end as they start to get into the top end. The NISMO's turbos are bigger than stock - and I think that helps here. I would expect any F90 M5 to beat any regular R35 GTR to 200 in most cases (although it will be fairly close) - and really pull on it as the speeds get into the top end.
