The amount of brake torque available is not the M3's problem. The Single-piston calipers are heavy and provide less feedback through the pedal, as well as wearing the pads less evenly.
The M3's rotors are not big enough to sink all the heat that can be generated by such a fast & heavy car. If you examine the GTR's brakes, you'll find that they have much more advanced Brembo multi-piston calipers, but they also have much bigger and more advanced rotors. They are 2-piece with an aluminum hat and separate huge floating iron rotor that dwarfs the M3's....
