Yea! burnouts shesh, not only do you have to buy more tires, but you can blow your tranny in the process. Is it worth it? And what would impress that little hottie standing on the corner that your showing off for anyway, sitting there roasting your tires off and filling her face full of smoke or taking off hard at the line and just plain out smoking the compitition.

to me whats the difference between doing a burnout and accelerating quickly its both putting alot of stress on the axles at first but after the initial burst they are fine no damage can be done
