Hi - I think I'm glad I'm an "Old Phart". I get plenty of enjoyment just driving my car and occasionally rowing through the gears and not referring to everybody as "Bro" and "Dude". To each their own, but my respect for the car and the money I spent to buy it says "No" to doing things like donuts, burnouts and driving dangerously at excessive speeds as seen on YouTube videos...

Cool story bro.
How could they have known what happened?I bought an 05 brand new and did donuts in it a lot and destroyed the rear differential. I took it to the dealer where they voided my warranty and charged me $2,500 for the repairs. I haven't done a doughnut since.

A few doughnuts shouldn’t destroy anything, going to red line now and again either.I bought an 05 brand new and did donuts in it a lot and destroyed the rear differential. I took it to the dealer where they voided my warranty and charged me $2,500 for the repairs. I haven't done a doughnut since.

To break the diff with stock tires? You should slide forever before you break. Sticky tires plus power adders are what breaks rears.It wasn't a few doughnuts it was a lot of doughnuts lol. I live near the bay area and the whole "sideshow" scene which I'm no longer into. But I would swing my car frequently and to perform the doughnut I would kick the clutch pedal. Needless to say it caused some damage lol. My car felt like it was skipping, what I would imagine having a boot on the car would fee like. I argued against the voided warranty because I made the same statements, "I can't take a mustang to redline? thats the reason I bought it" but they were having none of it.
Dumping the clutch frequently will definitely cause damage..........It wasn't a few doughnuts it was a lot of doughnuts lol. to perform the doughnut I would kick the clutch pedal. Needless to say it caused some damage lol.
It's fun. I did ONE burnout in my car. I did it in the gentle way though, with no clutch kick or dump. Just turning in a tight circle and then flicking the rear out while laying into the throttle. Did a 180 spin into a burnout for 5 seconds or so. Had to get it out of the way so I could say I did one, lol.I haven't done it in this car but I wanna do it. Should be fun, OP if I do a good job I'll send you a video.
I'll put my old tires on it and ruin them. F it. My car is older though 16.
