Perhaps I got a really good price on the BRZ, but that was the price difference for the car I looked at.
So why the hostility?

Because the V6 Mustang MSRP is under $24k, the new EcoBoost turbo is around $25k, almost a thousand dollars off the BRZ MSRP, the GT with the V8 is where you start to get away from the BRZ at $32k but that's only ~$5k more expensive, you only get to $10k (>$35k) on a Mustang if you're a bad negotiator, bad dealer, there's tons of unnecessary options, or they hacked the roof off.
The Mustang is absolutely a better performance/dollar value than the BRZ and I find it odd someone would argue otherwise. Don't get me wrong, the Toyobaru is the better car and I wouldn't touch a Mustang with a ten foot pole but your statements seem to not represent what we agree upon as reality.
Edit: Read your post above, your statement makes more sense but you have to realize that even the V6 Mustang is faster around most tracks than the BRZ, yes even the twisty bits.

And that's the old model that doesn't have independant rear suspension, the one I linked with the V6 should get around corners and lay down power even better.
