But the handling, shifter action and every other part of the human interaction with the car is amazing. The engine may be lower torque than the M2, but it's very easy to drive around town and you never feel like the power band is lacking.
I have a friend who had an F80 M3 and sold it for a GT4. He complained about its daily drive-ability and sold it. He mentioned afterwards how much better the F80 was for a dual purpose car. Thats why I asked.

I don't have any first hand experience as I would have to wear a GT4 not drive one.
I would imagine daily driver concerns about the GT4 are more with the harsh suspension than any lack of tractability.
