Hows the Duribility

Made a previous post but was'nt getting any info, so thought i should make one here.

Just wondering how the car handles in some " stunts " like drifting w/ e-brake pulls such as a couple 180's turns. and stuff like that. Is the tranny able to support this kind of abuse? Or will i just flat out break the damn thing, i dont plan on doing any of this stuff until i pass the 600 mile break in period, so what do you guys think?

Get a beater Nissan. The RX8 can handle it but do you want to rag out a brand new $30000 car, so it can rattle and make noises? If you decide that you will be doing this all the time then the car will adapt to it quite well. But take really good care of it (warm up, maintanance, gas)
