But the VR38DETT is an incredible engine, straight out from factory (stock), the R35 GTR is violently fast down the track, for response, low down, mid range to top end.
It can easily take on highly modified RB26's while the VR38DETT is still stock.
Best Motoring did a "Generations Battle" at Tsukuba Circuit, where the R35 GTR was put up against highly modified GTR's.
Bee*Racing R32 GTR (295 kW)
vs
Hosaka Tuning Factory R33 GTR (441 kW)
vs
MCR (Matchless Crowed Racing) R34 GTR (441 kW)
vs
Nissan R35 GTR (360 kW, Stock)
The finish times:
1'02"442 - R34 GTR
1'02"674 - R33 GTR
1'02"692 - R35 GTR
1'02"751 - R32 GTR
As Birds said, the only let down is the weight of the R35 GTR.
As for tuned R35 vs tuned R32, if both were tuned for equal in power and weight, it would be a very close race.
In theory, I still see the R35 GTR having a slight advantage due to it's Wider Wheel Base, giving it more stability on the track.
