That's a very nonsensical assumption. I'm sure all drivers who launch their cars regardless of drivetrain layout love their cars.

Awd launches puts less drivetrain stress than 2wd launches due to torque transfer/splitting to 4 wheels opposed to 2.

Evos are an exception due to very small gearlands from the transverse tranny layout. That's why the 5 speed is the choice for tuners. Still, hell of a lot of fun.
