The guys love to compare M5 vs super fast coupes
While I agree the Nismo tires are much better than the F90 M5's, being fair - unless the practice from Nissan has changed - they do not provide an R compound tire from the factory - even as an option - which has been one of the major complaints to Nissan (and the lack of carbon ceramic brake option). The Dunlop NR1's are 200 treadwear. That said - again - you are right that they are still quite an advantage over the PS4's lol (320 treadwear - and an all round tire).

Absurdly fast lap time.
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.
