I'll admit it, I do get jollies watching cars smoke their tires. Anyway, I'm ordering an ACT clutch very soon. How bad is it to do "dump clutch burnouts"? I know it a) wears the tires b) has the potential to snap motor mounts c) has potential to damage the CV axles/joints d) its probably not good for the transmission either as it all the sudden has a surge of power flowin thru e) creates extra heat needed to be dissipated. But my main question here is, how is it bad for the clutch? Its not like dumping the clutch you are slipping it. Its pretty much a one time blow.

It's hard on the pressure plate and disc. Could shatter it. It's alos hard on the engine's crank.

don't do it often, but everyone is guilty of spinning the wheels once and a while, just don't ebrake it for like 10min.

It is severe abuse. Don't do it.

. . .is donuts on a FWD vehicle. Doing burnouts while turning will put SEVERE strain on your CV joints.
I think the VQ motor would actually break them.

We used to do that in my friends Camry. They get alot of smokle pretty fast actually. It would fill the cabin after about a minute or so. The best would be putting it nose to nose with a Monte Carlo LS and both punchine the gas at the same time. Both car would start smoking in a tug of war type scenerio. It was funny at the time though.
