Read through to the specs on this review and you'll see how quickly and strongly the boost comes on, definetly quicker than a twin gets to its sweet spot downshift or not.

I have a 2016 WRX Premium. That's precisely your problem by the way, you're focused on "specs". Yeah the boost comes on strong in about 2 seconds if you're above 2500 RPM. In a straight line there's no doubt the WRX is the winner, but we're talking real world scenarios, and frankly if anyone has trouble passing or driving faster than a Camry (as is often said) in a BRZ, they should learn how to drive a manual car properly. The WRX makes it easy because you can just floor above 2000 RPM, and the car does the work for you. The BRZ is only as fast as the driver.
