If you are looking for street fun, I'd say sell. I've had a blast in my FI frs since 2013, but I've spent over $10k to get where I want.
As a comparison, I've bought a used Evo and spent only $1.7k on it in mods and tune and I have +25hp/+100tq over my frs with those mods. If you are looking for butt dyno fun, there are better ways of achieving it. It also handles a lot better in the canyons with good tires. So you kind of have the best of all worlds.
Useless comparison..

Your Lancer weight: 3517 lb...
Your FRS weight: 2,806 lb...

People often forget that the only thing that really matters for your "buttdyno" is power to weight ratio.. HP on it's own is a false metric.. NM more accurate anyway. +25hp/+100tq on an AWD monster like that means a lot less than it would for a light FRS... This is assuming your lancer was not weight reduced.

I do agree tho... don't sell, don't go FI. And @OP if you think a mustang will be fun to drive in comparison just remember that not so long ago those still sported truck suspension aka solid rear axles..
