what you have to remember is that unlike a powerful (or not) 2wd car most Impreza's will not have enough power to wheelspin on a fast get-away (as they have more grip than grunt), and thereore the weakest link in the chain is the clutch plate which will slip in protest and hence the smell..........

you will need to refine your launch technique if you want it to last longer term
