Both cars are marvels of technology, just in different ways. The GTR we once thought of as digital is now superceded by the M5 in its technology. The GTR we have to remember was a prototype as far back as 2001, and appeared in 2007. It hasn't changed a huge amount mechanically - its still a fascinating set up with a really visceral driving experience (especially pre-2017 cars), and as mentioned you can easily tune a GTR to 700hp and it will run on both E85 and normal fuel. Weakness is the gearbox (you need to update the older models software) newer ones are fine, engine is pretty rock solid (hand built by master craftsmen). I swapped from an F10 Comp. into a 2015 GTR, the steering feel in GTR's is light years ahead of all M5's from the E39 to today.....the interior however is another story :-) the M5 is light years ahead in that respect. Also - what would have been interesting in this video would have been the figure 8 and the amount of G-force each car could hold. Now that would be interesting - but they need to wear the same rubber to make it fair.
