Is that supposed to mean something? Maybe in 1974 when we were short on gas and someone thought the Mustang II was a good idea. 0-60 6.4 is trash in this post-Obama era.

No, I really wouldn't wish for an STi in this situation because those still need to spool for the sweet torque right?

I believe I know what you're getting at. As you begin ease into the woeful brake pedal and mash down on he hollow bottom clutch in your head you know you're just going to have to wind this thing back up again. God forbid you leave it in gear to let the car creep, it will certainly buck and jive with displeasure at that thought. No, the FT86 requires you to keep your foot at least near the clutch pedal to maintain any sort of civility in traffic.
Yes, in traffic the car is utter shit. I've mentioned this before, maybe.
As far as the OP:
I know a guy with a GTR who has considered selling it and getting a Lamborghini more than a few times. What keeps him from doing so are a few reasons:
1. He's already sunk enough money into the GTR to where he's faster than most slightly modified Lambos
2. The depreciation on even modified GTRs isn't bad at all, so getting at least it's value minus what he's put in won't be an issue.
3. He just really really loves his goddamn GTR.
You haven't sunk any money into yours, so there isn't any sunk cost involved with trading/selling it.
These cars depreciate much faster than any Subaru/Toyota for whatever reason, so you're losing money quickly in it. If you modify it, I think this is a car that modifications hurt the resell value.
If you don't feel any attachment to the car, it's best to let it go before you develop one.
