The 1M is just as stiff on the suspension but because the GT4 uses rose joint instead of rubber bushes, there is less unwanted movement with the GT4.

Straight line wise the 1M feels more potent and more exciting even though it is slower stock wise. This may be because the GT4 has insanely long gearing with 2nd gear going over 120km+.

Sound wise no contest, GT4 wins out by a big margin.

If you can just have 1 car, go with the 1M because of its practicality and being more fun to drive on the street.
I actually own both cars... and i have to say, the GT4 is amazing but the 1M is more interesting to me. It surprises everyone who sits in it. the GT4 is all about a visceral experience but everyone expects that. tho, it really doesnt disappoint. the 1M is something you can live with and enjoy every day. both are special and feel special. i should do a video review of both.
