If you really have the car set up the way you want it and it’s paid for, I would keep it. You can always add horsepower but you’ll always be chasing the latest and greatest anyway, no matter what you have. I got rid of my beloved 4th gen that I spent a few years getting just right because I got walked on by a 5th gen. I could have spent a few grand getting it worked on to make it “competitive” with newer cars but it was suggested i just upgrade to a 5th gen. Now I have a car note, plus I’m going to have to spend money setting it up how I want it AND it’s slower than several 5th Gens, let alone a 6th gen.
