Im going to add in here.
That while doing burn outs is cool and fun it always look funny coming from the front wheels (IMO) but If you cant hold it and light them up then forget about it.
Tell your freind about all the stress he is putting on his car everytime he does that and him not getting good traction when he nails it is a bad thing and that your car is properly tuned so you get full traction on acceleration.
