Default Abuse question.

Now that my 3.54's are installed, I really enjoy the fact that if I nail the throttle from a 30 mph rollout, she downshifts and just burns the tires up through the top of first gear!! How long before something comes apart if I start to get addicted to this? I realize that when the tires are spinning, stress is relieved, but some stress must be going somewhere.

I don't lnow I'll let you know when I break something :)

I usually keep an eye on everything and fix it before it breaks.

I can't even drive my '93 right now since I removed the interior, I want to abuse the hell out of it so bad.
