For the Road Warriors: Why are Burnouts in Drive a Bad Idea?

Was that a little donut at the end? ;)



I was asking about a street setup. Seems like since burnouts are a necessary part of racing, the car is probably modified to handle them better. I suppose the bones are still the same tho...

But if a mild burnout won't hurt the trans (and 73AbodEE's did not sound mild!) then why are people so paranoid about them? All I've ever heard was "go ahead blow up the trans," "do it if you want a rebuild," etc.

I have never really heard of poeple being paranoid about them. Just dont rev it to the moon in first while spinning the tires.
