Well you're not going to like any other WRX then, because the new 09 WRX definitely has that "kick back" feeling you're talking about, more so than previous models.

The reason your Evo 6.5 had that, was because of the lightswitch power delivery... a trait of tuning and the turbo fitted ot it. When a turbo comes on early and progressive, you don't get that.

The 09 WRX is as quick in a straight line as a stock Evo 8/9 or GDB STi, and I know this from experience.
