Without a pile more work you will never get GTI acceleration out of a BRZ. That was not what they were built for and if you want to be pushed back in your seat then there are far better options. The new upper level Camaros and Mustangs, the STi you mentioned, most of the 3 series BMWs, even some of the hot hatches all may be a better option for you. You can mod for speed but that entails a level of risk and expense that you have to be able to justify for a DD car.
I have had zero issues after 100K and 3 years with the FRS. Not a thing. Nothing. Just regular maintenance. I went into the car knowing it was not a rocket but unlike so many I have never had any issue keeping up with traffic, passing or being beat off the line by soccer moms in minivans.
