Well, the Coyote engine alone is going to weigh a couple hundred pounds more than the FA20 (assuming a V-8 equipped Mustang). Then there's the size difference between the cars. The Mustang is larger so you're going to have more weight there. Since the Mustang is marketed to a larger crowd, figure more weight from sound deadening and extra features. The sheet metal might be thicker causing more weight, after all we've seen all the complaints about the FR-S/BRZ denting easily.
