Not only does that put some serious wear and tear on the clutch, but it can also destroy other components in the driveline, such as the transmission, halfshafts, differentials, ect. And good luck getting Mitsubitchy to cover any of that, hell they won't even cover warranty claims that are completely legit
I'd much rather have a car that can run 13.0 all day long without self destructing. To me thats just pointless.

It requires a 5500-6000 rev and then a quick slip out of the clutch while flooring the gas. People that destroy the stock clutch on a stock or lightly modded car dont know how to drive.

Mine lasted several years with a ton of passes on it before it got replaced with an ACT2600.

Did I say it was common? How common is it for F-body LS1's to run 12.9's stock? Not very common, but IT'S BEEN DONE. The same applies here to EVO's... There are a FEW that run in the high 12's, over 106 mph, and with the same likelihood of breaking their tranny/clutch parts as F-body's have breaking their rear end... WIDELY known to happen... EVEN ON STREET TIRES, not just stickies or DR's... As LSINA7 indirectly yet adequately indicated. Hell, the first thing I did to my car (after intake and exhaust) was to get a Moser 12-bolt... My posi started to suck with 15k miles on the clock... NO PASSES AT THE TRACK, just some fun on the street. Why should an EVO be worried? Makes no sense...
It's a shame you're so dead-set on disliking cars WHOSE PERFORMANCE EVEN YOU WOULD enjoy behind the wheel... There are alot of cars I don't like but it has nothing to do with where they're from.
