I just watched a Motor Trend head2head video comparison test of these cars. They liked the BRZ better as a driver's car, but when Randy Pobst took them to the Streets of Willow Springs the V6 Mustang did get the quicker lap time. He did prefer the handling of the Subaru, the Mustang just had way more power.
