Bigger body, larger wheels and tires, heavier engine, bigger brakes, just to name a few things. There is also more sound deadening and more sturdy body panels than the twins. The Mustangs I've owned have all had much more substantial paint and body structure thank my BRZ. Seems like I can't hit a cone at an autocross in my BRZ without getting a dent or scraping up the paint, the Mustangs can take a hit without any damage. The twins are lightweight by design, but compromises were made to keep the weight down.
