I bet you had fun driving it home, lol.

 

My car has done one for 2-3 minutes (about 1/4 mile long) while creeping along and keeping it at about 6,000 rpm in 2nd gear. Near the end you could hear some pinging. At that point, it was a good idea to STOP. So, do I think my engine could have been damaged while doing such an EXTREME burnout? Yep. For a normal burnout you'll likely be OK. But, get carried away with anything and you never know what might happen.

OH NO! That is so NOT a trailer hitch I see on that fireturd?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!

 

Yep. That car was my "truck"

 

Nitrous burnouts are fun too....A4 with 2.73's....in 2nd my tires were doing 89....I was really doing about 5 mph...didn't wanna hold it too long....44 bucks for 120 seconds of fun. I think it's an unwritten rule, gotta come as close to possible to popping your old tires when buying new ones. I don't think I've even changed tires without them going from 2/32 to NASCAR style before I got to the tire place.
