Its not really "abuse", the stock tires dont stick enough to cause harm to the drive train or any part of the car. Abuse occurs when tires dont loosing traction causing something to break in a fashionably way. But yea I wouldnt do burn outs in my s just for the sh!ts and jiggles lol.

I never understood the fascination in burnouts... especially given the mess and toxic stink.
I always remember this winner when I see burnout vids:

Yeah, sure, once you've entered the burnout, you're not really hurting the car. The driveline shock from a high rpm clutch drop is something I would categorize as abuse. You can find plenty of stories of people trashing their diffs by doing a high rpm clutch drop.

although potentially damaging, it is fun and often times worth it. Just like drugs and alcohol.
