Like many here I have owned both. For me I had wanted to get into road course driving for awhile and the 1M was the car that I began that journey in. I progressed from beginner to intermediate with the car, but I became frustrated with managing turbos and feeling like I was losing time waiting for the turbos to spool coming out of a turn as a result I decided the 1M was a better road car than track car. For me track days is primary hobby so I decided a naturally aspirated engine was the way to go. I had been a fan of the 981 Cayman, but wanted something similar to the 987 Cayman R. The GT4 was that answer. For me still learning the mid engine platform in the gt4 I have been consistently doing my personal bests in the 1M or better the first time out on each track. For me the gt4 is a better suited track car and the 1M is a great daily or weekend driver on some twisty roads.
