RE: doing burn outs
If im not mistaken burnouts are hard on brakes because they get so hot from trying to hold the tires from spinning. If they get hot enough you run the risk of warping your rotors. Get a Linelock!

RE: doing burn outs
yeah the "fish tailing" is caused by torque... i've actually seen a bracket racer at an NHRA event in Baytown (near Houston) lift his front end nearly straight up in the air (had to let off or he would have ended up in the wall), and on the slow-motion replay you could see that one of the back tires actually came an inch or two off the ground also.

Both axles are the same length, i just had mine out last weekend. they were different lengths in the 9" rear end.
Now, if I'm not mistaken, the right side of the rear axle is shorter in length than the left side? That is why it always pulls right in a burn-out.

RE: doing burn outs
going to the right is perfectly fine
no burnouts do nothing to your brakes at all....(your thinking of brake stands or non moving burnouts)
and i wouldnt doubt that everyone who is bashing you did burnouts in there car when they first got a mustang
