PacosV: no need to hurt your stuff and hope you know now that offering a post of a burnout is going to bring on some well documented burnouts from across the ages.
You've got a sharp ride to be proud of. Keep it clean and look forward to finding a different video, if you're ready to stomp on the loud pedal and show us what you've got hiding inside that SBC.

Always one of my favorites too, even though I miss the car like crazy when I watch it 
As far as I know it's still out there. I saw it come back up for sale on here a couple of months ago without the L88 hood, sidepipes or 17" wheels/tires. The car was way mellowed as far as appearance and sound go

NUMBER ONE ANSWER on the board, darlin'!!!"
some owners take a Corvette, 'brag' about dyno-sheets, and polish the muffler-brackets, while some of us race them

Let face it only the fellows who dig doing burnouts would get a knot in their panties over the word "retard" what term do they deem PC correct?
I had to think about this thread, we all did the burnout thing as kids because we thought it was cool, I have seen the asinine burn out contests that Car Craft holds but we all know the target readers of Car Craft,
I saw the winners car with about 5K of damage to a cherry ride, thats what he gets for being stupid.
So I ask myself why a person would do a burn out...to warm the tires for more traction which isn't a need for any legal street activity, so then it might happen at a drag strip but for the street it is just posturing...showing off
Back in my days of hanging at the local cruise every weekend I never saw the fast cars doing burn outs only the slower cars trying to show off,
I guess the sad part of this thread is in all due respect that burn out was really lame.

Tell me exactly how this screws up a car. Yes it does wear out the tires but it will not screw up the car. Oh maybe the wax on the rear quarter panel will not be as good as it was pre burn out. I'm not advocating the burn out but to say it damages the car is not true either.

In my younger years I beat on my Vette often. Now it's just too risky and expensive to pull stunts like this.
