    I assume the ride quality of the Nismo is far worse than an Evo. If so then I'd rather go for a street legal Formula 1 car. ;)

    iirc the spring rate of the z-tune is about almost 800lb/in. to quote sportcompactcar's article, "with supercar handling comes supercar ride"

    i'm also skeptical about the skyline's performance other than straight-line speed. at a curb weight of about 3700 lbs (almost the same as the M5 btw), it's no Lotus Elise.

    of course, this opinion is based purely on spec sheets and video game driving :bwahaha: i've never actually driven the skyline

    pre... that's just a marketing ploy.

    when interviewed... sabi ng Williams wala daw silang na contribute sa M5. hehe.

    Probably not. The M5 has a 5-liter V10 unlike the Williams that's 3-liter. The road car also has to be reliable as the engine is not to be overhauled from time to time unlike the F1 car's.

    it's not even appropriate to compare those 2 cars, as they're of different level. well, even though i'll choose the M5

    Here's a video...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ec55effcNw
    BMW M5 vs R34 Nismo GT-R Z-tune vs Gallardo vs BMW M3 CSL vs Porsche 911 Carrera S.
    The drift, king Keichi Tsuchiya is in the M5.

    The M5 is of course a heavier and more refined luxury car but with a supercar engine.

    Lets wait for a comparison with the new V8 powered BMW M3, since that one is closer in size to the GT-R.
    2008 BMW M3 first drive.
