Every male in my family has a car that makes over 350HP and we all like to do burnouts. It's fun.
My eldest brother (39 today) has a 65 Chevelle with a 70LT1 350 in it with 12 bolt posi and he screams them for 50+ yards. My brother in-law (38) has a 64 Chevy pick-up with a radical 327 and he takes her side ways all the time. My younger brothers (29 and 25) both fry the hell out of the skins on their MN6 C5's, I (33) and my 428 rwhp, MN6, C5 put on a smoke show almost every weekend for happy bystanders either at my sisters or the neighbors house, and my dad (65) likes taking all of our cars out for a spin and he dumps it and watches the smoke pour out from below.
My dad was the original hot rodder in our family, with his 63 409 SS Impala. He and his friends street raced and did burnouts back in the day when drive-in's were like hotels, chicks wore roller skates, motown made the music and guys raced for pinks.
Burn outs were cool in the 50's and 60's and they are still cool now!

Of course the harder you push your car the more stress you are putting on it. You will wear out parts faster and there's always the chance something will give. But doing a couple burnouts here and there shouldn't do much. Regardless, its a sports car. Drive it like its meant to be driven. Stop babying it
A little play time every now and then is fun.
