I would take the GTR over the M5.

Driven both and the GTR is just something else.

I recommend you watch the clip with Chris Harris driving both of them on track as well.

I thought about it as well. Obviously, two epic performance automobiles no doubt. One is a premium performance cruiser while the other is a brutal Japanese cutting knife.

However, if I were to choose, I would prioritize the M5 with Competition Package.

Reasons being:
-More seating capacity
-More doors means that my rear passengers would have no trouble getting into the back seats.
-More premium features and amenities (i.e. the interior of the GTR is very utilitarian......hence why it's cheaper than a Porsche in pricing......maybe except in Germany/Europe)

I understand that the GTR is a better overall machine (in straights and turns).........but in cases where I'm not the only person in the car, then the M5 CP works better for me.

Just my opinion
