For autocross the WRX would have zero chance.

Gearing and weight of the BRZ would most likely make it faster on most track. My ~200hp car is faster than WRXs on Sebring and it's FWD (and a little lighter than the FR-S/BRZ) but I haven't driven them both so drivers varied.

I have driven a WRX back to back with a NB Miata on an autocross course with ~50 second run times. The WRX was about close to 3 seconds slower.
