I'd have some fun in the snow, but never on asphault. The only thing I really abuse and spin around in the warm months are the rental vans I get use for work every weekend.
Never buy an ex-rental.

I was too slow to get a video of it, but that was a great display!

Would have loved to see that. Power to weight ratio doesn't seem to make for easy doughnuts, not to mention the auto trans. Tom has defied both of those limitations though.

Sweet! Gotta get some vids out there. I think a 6speed rear bias tranny and a strong LSD are a reqirement for sucsses. I didnt think mine would do them but i was suprized at how easily it would. No real effort at all, just turn the wheel and roll into the throttle.
Drivtrain abuse? Maybe. Fun? Hell yeah!

With bearings already a weak point of the car, I'm not sure I'd be wanting to do donuts
Still, did get a bit of a "slide" going while trying to get through a yellow light turning left yesterday... that was fun
