Revved 3K with E-Brake on

I put my max into drive and revved to 3K eight or nine times thinking I was stuck in the snow. It turns out my E-Brake was on and before the last pedal mash, I smelled something like burning rubber. I exited the car and did not smell anything; what damage could I have done?

Thanks

You know the tires are made of rubber... lol

You probably spun the tires, although not sure how you couldnt realize it.

There was no burning smell on the tires; also, with the e-brake on, how could it have spun?

Most likely you spun your front tires.

Because the E-brake only holds the rear not the front

E-brake is applied to the rear wheels.

This. The ebrake is applied only to the rear wheels. Its how you make a front wheel drive car do a burnout.

Go to an open parking lot, and put fast food trays under the back tires, and lock the Ebrake. It helps if it is wet, but then you can go do donuts! its really fun!

I wish mine did that sometimes, but my All Season 235/45/20 tires are to big for the front to want to go drifting.

All the hand brake does is lock the rear wheel's brakes. You can't hurt anything.

Do you have this on video??? +1 to all the drifting guys. there's no snow in FL but dirt roads and empty softball fields are a blast!
