Actually, the shock-load that kills most WRX 5MTs isn't on the launch since people are paying the most attention then. It's on the shifts to 2nd and 3rd where people really powershift the car and side-step the clutch, and those are the shifts where there's a ton more boost because the turbo is spooled whereas at the launch you're not making hardly any boost.
