Burning out?

does burning out hurt your car?
i have a 64' 289 stang and it so easy to do burn outs in it but when i tried in my ex it sounded like i was hurting it so what do you think? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] and what have been your experiances with burning out in your 01-02 civic.
And if it is bad what does it damage. Thanks!

It's not good for your clutch or transmission. If feels "wrong" in the Civic because there's so much wheel hop bouncing your car around.

Its bad for your engine if you dont do it right, its bad for your entire drive train and its bad for your tires. That plus the fact that non Drag/street slicks get a LOSS of traction after a burn out. The tread tears at the edges, and ***** up, makinf little rubber, traction robbing, ball berrings.

Why people are so keen on doing them is beyond me.
