Haha, Nice..

Dont want to hijack, but doesnt spinning tires and stuff, damage your transmission?

I don't see how it would. You're just spinning your tires as if you're driving, you're just not going anywhere. But if you're talking about friction/resistence, I'd say there's probably not enough to do any damage.

wouldnt it be uncomfortable to drive with a big blower blocking your view?

But possibly, there would be more resistence, meaning more work on the car, possibly damaging something.

Not unless you're sitting in the middle of the car.

Well, there's resistence when you're driving anyway, and when you're peeling out, (From what I've seen) the car tends to slide a round a bit, so there can't be too much traction.

The transmission usually copes alright, but your engine and diff really take some punishment.

thats why you just get a big enigne and a rearend with limited slip. 7.3L TD FTW !!!!

The clutch takes the biggest kick, followed by the diff, and then the box. Depending on the clutch/diff depends on the amount of abuse your car as a whole will take.

For what its worth, although not technically a burnout, any sideways action can kick the sh*t out of the suspension.

i would also imagine hopping would also kick sh*t out of many components
