    m2 drag racing burnouts

    my son has got a new m2, 2023, and wants to take it to the drag strip and do burnouts etc. I told him that it is not engineered for that kind of activity it's more of a road performance car than drag car. I raced back in the day late 60's and we were constantly putting rear ends and trans in cars. Just asking what the consensus might be, I would guess a burnout out or two to appease his desire wouldnt hurt but a steady diet of them might result in gross consequences, regardless of what I see on you tube etc. Anyone have any feedback on this?

    I go to the strip about twice a year and only do about 5 passes, it’s not a drag car, I don’t even launch my car hard most of the time
