I know of multiple people that traded for a WRX or STI and a couple for corvettes.
You see threads about it all the time here, it just happens. After crunching numbers I think it would be much easier/cheaper to trade off the car for something else.
You FI the car and run in to reliability issues (don't say it is ALWAYS in the tune...) and then you have to build a block. The car still isn't THAT fast even with FI. It is a rabbit hole for sure, but this car in particular seems to be overly expensive to modify for what it is, and it takes a lot to make it have more than mid 200 HP to the wheels.
It is what it is.....

Oh not doubting it happens but I think there are probably way more guys that keep it much longer than a year even on here. The relative handful that have traded does not constitute a trend in any fashion.
