same here, for the most part
The thing that bugs me is that I mostly see young kids in them, clearly bought and modded by their parents or with their parent's money.
So I've gotta ask, did their parents take out huge insurance policies on them are are hoping to collect, or are there other reasons they want their kids dead?

as a former regular at the socalevo.net forums, based on what i've read/heard/saw a large majority of evo owners (that still run stock/street clutch setups) do not recommend the 5k clutch-dumping launch. the clutch is the weak link in the evo drivetrain (the center diff coming a close second), and as such a 5k clutch dump can result in disaster (i.e. immediate clutch disintegration, broken center diff, you get the idea).
now the STi, you CAN do the 5k clutch dump... /OT
without a perfectly clean launch, the evo can and probably still do high 13s or low 14s, mostly due to its tenacious traction via all wheel drive.
good thing with the is350 is, stomp the gas and let'er rip. let the computer do the legwork for you; just focus on where you're going.

In the first place why do you care. You have your car and he has his . If one is quicker is it going to change anything. Also where are you going to "race"? On a public street...illegal, risk of being caught, higher insurance premiums. This is a fool's game usually practiced by juveniles or the inebriated (met him in a bar) where everone loses...except the lawyers. Why play it. Grow up!
NGG, this is a car enthusiasts forum. Some people here are interested in things like performance.
If you aren't, might I recommend a home & garden forum? Perhaps growing tomatoes might be more up your alley.
In some areas of the world, there are these neat things called drag strips. You see, people who are car enthusiasts can go there to race their cars against one another in the spirit of friendly competition.
Get off your moral high horse and quit making assumptions.
