I would be pretty disappointed with Subaru if they didn't cover this engine. We're talking about an engine that was pretty much bone stock. I've seen Subaru cover EJ257's that cracked pistons running 300-320 whp (stage 2 roughly, i.e., aftermarket tune + TBE) with no issue.

A stock car (especially one like the BRZ/FR-S) should be able to run laps on a track without destroying the engine, even if it means the car puts itself into a limp mode due to heat.
