BMW M3 G80 vs Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW M3 G80 is the quicker car, covering it in 12.20 s at 117.7 mph against the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34’s 13.51 s — a margin of 1.31 s. To 60 mph the BMW M3 G80 takes 3.96 s and the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 5.09 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the BMW M3 G80 or the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 faster?
The BMW M3 G80. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.20 s to the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34's 13.51 s, a margin of 1.31 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s against 5.09 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW M3 G80 0-60 time?
The BMW M3 G80 reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.20 s at 117.7 mph.
What is the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 0-60 time?
The Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 reaches 60 mph in 5.09 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.51 s at 102.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW M3 G80 trips the lights at 117.7 mph and the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 at 102.5 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the BMW M3 G80 and 6 of 7 for the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
