I am able to make the payments, but I feel like I should be saving money to invest and build my future. I was thinking of selling it and getting a cheaper car in the low 20k range. Possibly an 06-07 STI or maybe something else.

I need help deciding if I will regret selling it, so I am making this thread for opinions. On one hand I feel like I will miss the plethora of compliments I get from friends and random strangers (I have gotten TONS. Gotta say it feels pretty good when random people stop to tell you your car is awesome). But on the other hand I feel like I need to save money so I can start investing and be able to afford an even nicer car in the future.

Idk what to do. I know you are all strangers, but I just want to hear what you think!
2004 C5 Z06. Maintenance is dirt-cheap, the car has a rock solid drive-line, it will impress you performance-wise. It looks similar enough to the C6 so as not to appear to be "last year's model" too bad (like the C4 does...)

I'm in the same boat as you. Bought a new C6 Z06, put down about 10K, would rather have a house by the time I'm 30 instead of a paid-off Z06. I'm stepping down into a 370Z. Stepping up, interior-wise, though, lol
