What set up is your car? Auto or Manual? Gears? If your car is the base auto with 2.59 gears it is not set up for wheel spinning acceleration. It is set up for top speed. They get their quick acceleration from not spinning the tires.

Burn outs are for slicks, not treaded tires.
I broke 2 driveshafts in my youth before I learned this.
And yeah the tires are expensive.
