BMW Motorsports is running the 485bhp E92 M3 ALMS GT2 this year, a race prepped version of the road car. As far as I can recall, I don't remember seeing Nissan running any Skyline or GT-R in any major GT series... other than the fake Japanese Super GT series with a 4.5L V8. If you want to talk about motorsports credentials or racing heritage, the GT-R isn't even close.

But not having the motorsports credentials of the M3 doesn't take anything away from the fact the GT-R is a great road car.
