Default Burnin' a little 350 rubber (pics and vid)

Nothing too crazy, just a little fun! Anyone else have some good rubber burnin' pics/vids?

Vid Linkage:
poor quality (point and shoot cam) but you get the idea:

Tires weren't too bad, some distinct wear on the inside, but they held up much better than I'd thought. Of course I wasn't trying to roast them with full fledged donuts. Just trying to get a little fish tail out of them.

Trac/VDIM off then floor it and take off!

Ha, not really donuts, just a few burn-outs.

One thing I noticed, there were a portion of s-curves where I was driving and I left the VSC on for a bit, I was gladly surprised at how far the car let me squeal tires around the curves without cutting power/or braking. Much less invasive than I thought VSC/VDIM would be.
