That's it, pretty much. You can do a search and find where it's been discussed ad nauseam. You can dig up Red__Zed's "car thoughts" or his old "5.0" thread for some commentary. You can find some of mine around the forum as well.
The Mustang will feel heavier and a little bigger because, well, it's heavier and a little bigger.
If you drive one you need to drive it for a while because if you are not used to driving heavier cars it's going to take a bit of time to acclimate yourself before you can actually get a feel for how it handles.
Another thing to consider on your test drive is Sport Mode. To activate, hold the brake and quickly tap the traction control button twice. This will tighten up the steering and the traction and stability control systems give you far more liberty. It's a fairly intelligent system that will let you spin the tires without killing power and gives you several degrees of yaw before it starts to intervene. Makes things more fun and lets you keep a safety net in case you mess up.
Bottom line is it's different. But it is very much at home on a twisty road. The extra power is just a plus.
