If you listen to the driver of the video, he prefers the driving style of thr m5 because its more use to what he drives on a race track! That says alot about the m5, but it lost in terms of numbers to the gtr due to the fact that it weighs almost 1/2 a ton more and bc its rwd did not put the power down as well. The m is far less compromising on normal roads than the gtr and the m5 was designed to be an everyday car that can be taken to the track
There is a different between a track car and a car can be tracked! (IMO)
GT-R is designed for track and even the specific model is called track edition!
You can drive this car as DD car as well, but is it really a DD car???
M5 is designed as powerful DD car to be able to be driven in track.
Question: The similar M car is MB AMG! do you consider S63 AMG or even CL63 AMG a track car?
