Nope... I won't do it. Tires cost too much and don't last long enough anyways.

The combination of the S2000's engine output, differential strength, and big a$$ sticky tires in the rear = drivetrain soup. I can't bring myself to do it.

225 isn't a big tire.

I did it a couple of times, then when people told me about the weak differential, I stopped.

The one time that I took the car to the drag strip, I did some burnouts to get the tires a little stickier. I've never done it on the street or just to show off, though. I have to launch hard at autocrosses & stuff, but I don't do a burnout.

I do donuts, figure eight and drift. Burnout I can still count on one hand.

Burnouts are for dumb kids who think they have something to prove.
