In all honesty, if you can get a brand new Mustang GT with 412hp and that will out corner the BR-Z and FR-S all day long, you should get that. The 5.0 is very impressive, and pulls just shy of a G on the skidpad. That, along with a 0-60 of under 5 secs, a quarter mile of 12.XX, and a whole list of other things it seems that this would be the better buy.

All good points, but 'out corner the BRZ and FRS all day long' is pushing it. On a tight and technical AutoX, the BRZ would almost certainly post better times than the GT.
