A burnout here and there is harmless. A habitual burnout addiction will quickly wear out rear brake pads and rotors..not to mention you'll also be buying stock in tire companies.

I really would not do any donuts at all. Donuts are bad news for these cars, and is not exactly healthy for the rear-suspension.. Save the donuts for rental cars.
