Burnouts affect on brakes
while doing burnouts (holding the brake down while flooring it) are the brake pads the only thing that gets worn.....b/c i have un limited brake pads from midas..what else is being affected?

I think the rear brake pads are about the last thing that are hurt by powerbraking. Most of the abuse is to the engine, trans, u-joints and the rear. Your flooring the car and trying to stop the engine at the same time, its not good for the drivetrain. I did that for a while heating my tires up when racing then I finally got smart and installed a line lock. Think about braking the car hard from 70mph or more down to zero. A power brake has got to be a lot easier on the pads than trying to stop a 3500lb car from 70-0 in a hurry.

Powerbraking can tear up your transmission as well - you can do it, just don't take it to an extreme because you think you can just go get your pads replaced.

I burnt off about $500 worth of rubber one night three years ago. About 40 or 50k miles later I'm still on the same rotors... no problems ![Smilie](https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
