how much faster will it feel
Discussion
I got a greater sensation of speed of speed from a 306 gti 6 than an E55 AMG (the 5.5 Kompressor) because the 306 felt more 'on edge' and the 306's engine really comes alive after 5000 rpm whereas the AMG had power all the way through. I think your expectations of how fast the car might be are an important factor as well..

At 19 I went from a 74hp 1.2 Corsa to a 240bhp Astra VXR.
Safe to say it felt much faster, but as you do, I sonn got used to the speed (well so I thought)
Crashed it 6 months later. Breaking 5 ribs, both bones in left arm and multiple facial fractures.
Lesson learnt. Go up in stages children.

As others have mentioned, how fast it will "feel" will always be determined by the quickest car you've driven.
After the GTR everything else feels slow to me but I'm slowly appreciating other aspects of driving.
