Burnouts in an IS 350?
I've got an 09 IS350 on F-sport rims with Michelin PS2 tires and i've done a couple burnouts in the time i've had the car. Obviously its not the healthiest thing for the car but how bad is it in reality. i've probably heard every hypothesis on a scale of no effect to "destroys your tires". Just wanted some clarification because it couldn't be more fun

haha most true track 1/4mi cars you see are all auto 
like thats real healthy for a car too
As for doing burnouts... once you break the traction its ok (cept for bouncing off the limiter and once the tires regain traction can be dangerous), its the torque applied to the parts before the tires break is the danger, snap axle/snap driveshaft... real burnouts for show are also done in 2nd gear on manual/muscle cars

This is true. Throw your car in reverse while you're driving fast and the back-up camera will come on but the car will never shift gears to reverse. It's kinda cool.

^^^ Thank goodness the car is smart enough.
But I thought usually manufacturers will throw in some kind of gate protection so that you can't shift to reverse while you drive forward fast enough. Also, you need to step on brake pedal to shift into reverse or is this with traditional automatics?
Maybe I'll do a little burn out with brake torque as smoky suggested after my first oil change. I haven't done burn outs in an auto before.
