Actually it has to do with the suspension. On the coupe the suspension is much tighter than the sedan. So you don't feel much on the butt dyno. The softer suspension settings on the sedan would give the butt dyno false readings.

Also, the wheelbase length has little to do inline acceleration feel. If he hit a couple turns or bumps in the road, then he'd notice the wheelbase difference.
