Evo's are much different machines. The have what I call binary boost, especially on the stock turbo. This means that boost is basically either on or off; there is not much waiting in between where it is building boost. In an Evo you can rev to 5k or so and mostly dump the clutch. It will buck slightly but will build boost so fast at that point that it will be off and running. Not the ideal way to launch that car, but it will work better than on our cars. Not to emtnion the trans is stronger on the Evo.
