mm well actually I DID HURT my daily driver from launching.. just for the record. I didn't slip out the clutch slow enough and had wheel hop from hell.. my motor mounts were under-par do to shotty work done before i bought my car. This problem was not found by the inspector. I have launched higher on the street but my 60ft time was PURE launch, i had no further power to the wheels after my launch. Two motor mounts snapped, my engine dropped. It ripped out my cv joint, tore apart my lateral arm assembly (lower ball joint), threw my p/s alt and a/c belts completely off when the pulleys were thrown against the side wall. A couple of other little things but this is the main things that were a result of my track experience. If you choose to launch hard make sure you have good tires, your motor mounts are secure, your belts are in good shape, and there is no water or dust on your tires (like he said ^^^). To be honest i don't know if I would have had the same problem given different circumstances. I possibly could have got a 2.2 or 2.0 60ft from that launch. I just wanted to let you know that things DO break at the track.

VW= The joy of driving
DSM= The frustration of fixing
