Yeah, you couldn't... Hers was a 95 Civic something or other... had like 90hp. And my accord had messed up issues when you;d try something like that. Made all sorts of crazy noises, and would just die. (it was a bucket though)

LoL! Yea, torque is good stuff! I tend to do that nudging during lots of traffic. I can do it in my WRX like anyone else can, so definately a STi can too.
It's not that much fun with a heavy springy clutch car though, really strains out the leg like a workout trying to nudge it around.
I hope a missile gets hit by an incoming missile! How kewl would that be to see!? Counter missiles... AWESOME!

you can do that in any manual car... cars don't really make any decent TQ at idle, but you can move the car.

I had a rental car in Germany... it had a lot of torque (not as much as the STi)... and you could do that... it tripped me out.

BTW, just ask if you need help with learning how 2 drive stick cuz it sounds like you need to put in some work.

LOL... no, Im good... I just never explored that area of a manual (Never knew, so I never tried). Ive driven plenty of manuals... hell, my first car was a manual... as was the Opel Vectra I rented in Germany (Which was sweet!)
Zoeb, I hope you die.
