Better question: Why do you want to abuse your car like that?
Just my opinion but I think there are better ways to get your jollies. Anyone else agree?

hehehe we have some donut lovers on this site...and yes I'm talking about the Krispy Kreme ones. Guys you would be stupid to attempt donuts in the TL. They are for sure not built for that kind of abuse.
If you want to have some fun, simply torque brake when racing someone, and see the look on their face when you smoke them off the line.
Torque brake for all of you who don't know is simply keeping your left foot on the brake all the way down, and revving with your right foot. When the light turns green, gun the gas and let go of the brake. You'll see how you fly back into your seat. Although this is horrible for your torque converter, it's under warranty...so who cares!!! If you're out of your warranty period, think twice about torque braking.

its easy to do donuts, all u have to do is find a slippery surface (wet road) go about 15 MPH step on the e-brake and cut the wheel. ;-) i do know how to do it, although i have never done it to my own car ;-)

but if done correctly and poped into reverse at the right time and back into drive correcty you can creat some great 360's or you can do the J turn which is cool and a good way to create alot of burning rubber!
