Why not S65, SL65 and CL65? It has restricted torque of something like 738tq, that is over 150lbs/ft per 1000lbs, and they come in very very early. Pikes peak type of race cars would work as well, don't they have like 2000tq?
On the serious note, you might want to try running up zig zag, rather than head on straight, it'll reduce the angle a bit. Also I don't see why 4wd would be disadvantageous in that situation.

sorry this is just a rant.
today i was on a HUGE STEAP hill. and the evo just has no power at all before the turbo. with a awd system and such a heavy car the evo should have came with a bigger engine.
the hill was so steep that I could notgo slower than 10mph. as soon as i wnt slower to about 5mph the car just did not have any power or tq to accelerate to its power band. then when i come to a complete stop, its almost impossible to get going again cuz of the huge hell and tiny engine. the only way to get moving again was to slip and burn the hell out of the clutch untill you were up to 10mph. that one hill made the car stink of burn clutch for days.
the evo is just a DOG before 1500 rpm
anyone else have problems with huge hills?

Were you climbing a 90 degree rock, LOL. The EVO has an awesome power band. You should find a car that has great power in the 5-7mph area that should satisfy your thirst for power. For some reason I just take offense to your post it seems condescending to me. You seem like a closet EVO hater. No offense or anything

Once you get the hang of a manual tranny, you'll have no problems at all; it's all about keeping it in the power band. I've taken my Evo up insanely steep hills in LA and SF with no problem. Eventually, you'll get the hang of it. Or not. Some people never do.
