Less weight means reducing the cabin size, which is how GM went with the Camaro. That's the one "big" bragging point for every person who seems to like Mustangs..... I CAN SEE!!!!!
I do agree that Ford could make tweaks to make the Mustang much better rather easily. The biggest issue is that they don't have to, because people will buy it.... Ford 150's have been the best selling trucks for 40 yrs roughly, but they aren't the best trucks....

I'll give you that, but I think you know where I was headed in general. Ford can do tweaks and it would just be a better car in general. Added Brembo's all the way around. Check. I still think it needs a wider and better tire. Every time I'm behind a GT I'm like, damn those tires look skinny. They need to jam a 305 back there. Weight, well, however they need to shave 200 lbs, do it. I still think if it did all that, It would put the Camaro in it's place. But, Camaro is coming out with a refresh. I'm sure they plan on shedding a few lbs, adding a hp bump. Therefore, putting it more ahead of the Mustang.
Ford failed even more with the GT350 as it got it's ass handed to it by the Zl1 and let's not even compare the 350R to the Zl1 1LE. Across the board, Ford is getting it's ass handed to it by Chevy.
