This is not the type of car you want to be burning out on.... The transmissions are relatively strong, but it's really not made for popping the clutch to launch the car. You'll regret it when you fry your clutch or flywheel or both and have to spend about $3k for a new setup. Doesn't mean that when your clutch is not a part of the equation (you're already in gear) you can't just stomp on the gas and learn how your car responds. I like to drive my car sideways through a turn from time to time....
