My E90 M3 vs my R35 GTR

Sharing some pics of my daily E90 M3 and my occasional and more track focused R35 GTR

Real chalk and cheese driving experience between them, but big smiles per miles for different reasons!

M3 stock except replace OEM discs, Brembo race of and MPSS

GTR is built motor, GT30/35 hybrids etc

Beautiful rides. What kind of numbers is your GT-R putting down?

Thanks guys!

GTR is currently 900hp street tune and turn it up to 1000+ for occasions, needs a couple more tweaks then we can run 1000 on pump for the street and upto 1200 when needed

Sweet rides bro, thanks for sharing!
BTW, if you ever need someone to drive the GT-R, like to push its limits, just LMK

Yes and no. I've had the GTR 8 years so it's been progressive arms race to get to this power, the chassis handles it well, you can't fully deploy it but when you nail that throttle it's exhilarating!

Not got any track footage with new engine, but this was couple of years ago about 660bhp tune, my second ever lap of Nurburgring (mind the Lambo around the 2min mark

You're a good man offering to do that sort of charity work for me

The accelaration is just insane !!!
I have been many times to Nordschleife, and is a real drug.
But now, I live too far away from the Green Hell.

Gorgeous rides.

There's a chance that one day a Bugatti (other hyper car brands are available) stops at the lights next to you, especially high risk chance of this occurring summer time in London, on these occasions it is "needed"

It's a crazy stretch of road, every corner different, every apex has different curb, gradient etc, it's a proper test of man and machine and then they let you drive it with no further training or safety than a basic driving license and seat belt, brilliant!

It's a serious drug! Will be back over September time for sure and do another Spa trackday at the same time - another awesome circuit with at least a reasoanbale chance of one day actually learning the rhythm

what an awesome combo!

I lived all my life in NJ/NY, recently stayed just outside of London in North Hampshire area for 3 months...and wow it was a shock for me...out of 10 cars I randomly see on the road, 9 of them really are all hatchbacks or wagons haha...no wonder we don't get many wagons in the State...I think I saw 1 E92 M3.
In the middle of London it's a different story, you see all sorts of crazy rides
