It's not as stiff as the 550i and you don't feel the road as much. We haven't really put it down in sports+ yet and played with it (only have 200 miles on the car). Acceleration wise the GT will throw you back, and you don't loose that feeling since you never really feel it shift gears. This engine with the 8 speed transmission is a vast improvement over my 550i. I don't think the GT car will take high speed corners as well as the 550i, since it is a much heavier car and sits higher. But we haven't put that to the test yet.
I will say that when the 550i comes out in 2011, with this engine and transmission it is going to be one impressive car.
