Potentially. A lot has to do with the gearbox ratios and final drive ratio choice BMW makes. Nonetheless it'll perform in the same ballpark, but will probably be much more fun to drive as it is a 2-seat sports car afterall. What really remains to be seen (or experienced) is the driving feel and most importantly steering feel/feedback. I would tend to believe BMW has done good work there and it will be a fun car to drive, even if the car suffers from being overweight. BMW has proven with the new M3 they can make a heavy car feel much lighter and still deliver a great driving experience.
