It's worth noting that some people have the same "feeling" when driving the EB Mustang. It just feels like it is quicker off the line- and it might be for the first few feet. But as others have pointed out, something as simple as the rear gear ratio will have a big effect on how it feels. My take on all that is unless you are planning to race other cars, drive the car that gives you the best experience- and the best experience is not always the fastest car. There are subtleties to it. How a car feels in the first 50 ft as you pull away from a stoplight has a powerful effect on how fast you think it is and even a Honda Accord feels fast if you plant your foot in it from a stop due to gearing, throttle mapping, etc. I think throttle mapping is huge and a tune might totally change your mind on the GT vs BMW feel, but I understand what you're saying. When I test drove a GT and an EB, the GT was underwhelming because I was expecting a OMG difference and it wasn't there until you really started wringing the car out- which you don't really do in day to day city driving.
