What's worse? A 30 second burnout or multiple track laps at 8/10's? Lots of factors at play.... everyone is going to enjoy the car how they want to.  |
30 seconds of wheel hop would be FAR more destructive than an entire day of 8/10th track time. Track time emphasizes smoothness. Smoothness makes things last. Wheel hop is your driveline acting like a gigantic metal whip, with all that peak shock transmitted back through the suspension, rear diff and transmission to every bearing and bushing in there.
If all that lash and rubber banding were taken out of the system with urethane or delrin everywhere, then the burnout wouldn't be as harsh/less likely to break things. But then you're making the car less pleasant to street.
