Waiting for a BRZ STi that is 2500lbs 240hp & double wishbone suspension. I'll keep dreaming.

That is exactly what the video 'proves'. An S2K isn't going to dust an 86 around a track with fairly equal drivers and matched tires.
Not sure what your concern is about reliability considering the only Subarus I've heard of having major issues are ones incompetently upgraded or driven like toys. I've beaten the hell out of my STI for 88,000 miles and only had a few bearings wear out in the rear end. The engine had its oil pan dropped and the rest of the engine inspected and it looks like new. Frequent oil changes make all the difference with regard to longevity.
Ice mode? The 'pedal dance' fixes that trail braking issue which only really pops up on the track. I wonder if anyone will come out with an ECU mode to tweak the TC/ASC settings to eliminate that.
The suspension seems pretty awesome on my BRZ. It's even more planted and effortless to drive than my 05 STI. Good luck waiting for a BRZ STI. If Subaru ever builds one, it'll probably be overseas market only (like most of the other non-WRX STIs) and cost as much or more than a WRX STI. Considering the Limited BRZ is already close to 30k, LOL at getting a BRZ STI for under $35,000, especially if it comes with a factory turbo and Brembos.
