5mph?

5mph?
Why is it that the 5mph roll, absolutely kills the Evo's performance? I don't understand this at all. From what I understand, if you roll from 5mph, you'll get to 60mph *slower* than you would have, if you had started from a pit.
Why is this? Also, what reasonable means can be used to counteract this occurance? Couldn't you simply press in the clutch to up the RPMs, then go from there? This is one of the few issues I have with the Evo.

Yes, to overcome the 5mph roll problem, you just slip the clutch to build some boost before hammering it. Why do you say it's an "issue" with the Evo? It's the same with any turbo car pretty much, depending on the size of the turbo. Trying to go from a roll at 5mph is no worse than trying to go from a stop without launching...they both suck.

0-60 times are done with 5000rpm to 6000rpm launch, you take advantage from the four wheel drive and full boost power.
5-60 times are done in first gear inside 1000-1500rpm where the Evo is a weak car.

Well you get to 60 slower because when you launch the car, ideally, you're already in boost. Reasonable means? Learn to launch, brake boost, mod? I wouldn't slingshot, I had a friend brake a tranny doing that.
Ok now i am cunfused i am fairly new some please help. i thought and sounds logical that if you launch your car at a 5 mph roll that is less strain on the drive tran. because you are not bogging the car as much and doesnt tear up the clutch as bad. in other words, 5 mph=less stress on the car
