I'm not interested in burnouts, nor quarter miles.
My request had come solely for a photo opportunity as my rear tyres are nearly gone.
As for low torque, I need more, from 340ft lbs to 150ft lbs is hell.

It takes a lot of skill to win a road race.
It takes quite some skill to win at autocross.
It takes more than a little to win a quarter sprint.
It takes none at all to do a burnout.
When a lady interviewer asked Fangio , after winning his 3Rd world championship, how he put his car into a slide he was most offended. His answer, "madam I spend my entire time on the track preventing slides, not initiating them".
My son, when he was young & very silly, destroyed a rather nice old V8 Falcon doing burnouts with it. I pointed out that I spent my entire time on the track preventing wheel spin, not initiating it.
It took a while, but he has grown up a bit now.

Don't grow up to much. Next thing you know you aren't having fun anymore. There is no correlation with skill and with fun. However, I also have fun kicking some ass out on the road course, and that happens to take some skill. One is simple fun, the other isn't so much. It requires effort.

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