I don't think I've seen any reviews say that the BRZ had more than enough power. I think the general feeling in the auto industry is that it has "enough" power. The fact that he can't keep up with a 370z, well, duh.

I think you're either projecting or misreading the article. At no time did they complain that it wasn't as powerful as the 370Z. They did point out how obvious the transition is going between the cars, but like you said "well, duh." Keep in mind, they never complained the Miata wasn't powerful enough. In fact, they appreciated the Miata for its balance and accessibility to fun, whereas the primary complaint was the BRZ seemed reluctant to give up the smiles per miles because there's an imbalance between chassis grip and mid-range engine torque.
Now, I'm not saying I agree with them, I'm just pointing out their exact rationale.
