Then I'm in second gear and at about 6k rpms the car stopped accelerating completely, car won't go over 51 mph. I let go of the gas, after a second or two the car starts responding again, just like before. I do a couple more runs and same thing, at about 50mph and 5-6k rpm's it just stops accelerating completely. Again, this is only when getting on the gas enough to get to 5-6k rpm's. Brought the car back to dealer, waiting to hear back.....

P.S. Nervous because dealer says that Subaru told them they could not try to replicate the problem if it occurs near redline. I told them the redline for this car is 7k rpm's, and the problem occurs at 5-6k rpm's. I'm worried Subaru is gonna come at me with some B.S. about how the car only does it when driven hard, so they won't fix it. ALMOST ANYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR DID SO TO DRIVE IT SPIRITED, A BRZ THAT CAN'T GO ABOVE 5-6K RPM'S IS WORTHLESS!
Oh, jest set the shift light for 5,000 rpms - Problem solved!

Seriously, it sounds like the folks at that dealership don't know what they are doing.

Maybe take it to a different dealership or a tuner in your area -
