The GT-R is also a couple hundred pounds heavier.
No need for a broader power band when you are rolling because you can start at high rpm and shift at redline. The M3 is constantly above 6k rpm at each shift even with a manual transmission. No need to be at low rpm where low end torque is needed. But broader powerband and AWD is great for starting from a stop.
