Lighting up the tires is no cooler than revving your engine out of gear. If you are stupid enough to rev the H*** out of your engine, then you deserve to blow up your trans from lighting up the tires.

The answer should come as a Yes it'* safe or no it'* bad for the motor, with a little further explaination on either.

I also wouldn't recommend it. If you rev it once or twice and NEVER do it again, sure you won't ruin anything, but just don't get too crazy. I mean, I never did it in DrugRunner, at least never above 2500, and that was just to hear the exhaust note, and was only a once or twice kind of thing only. I never revved to the limiter.
My brother had a Firebird once and he CONSTANTLY revved the heck out of it in P and/or N, and since the Firebird did not have a rev limiter, he easily got it up to 6,000rpms! (I am witness to this, 6K+) And he did this on a somewhat regular basis because "it'* fun." <--- his words. I wish I could say he destroyed the engine so some people will choose not to do it themselves, but he didn't have the car too long and he didnt get a chance to blow it up. I'm sure if he still had the car it would be sitting in a junkyard somewhere.

2000-3000 Rpms will sound best on a 3800.... You can rev to 4000 rpms but it is not reccomended... If you rev at all please do this in park, and very briefly.... Open the windows and take a little cruise and you find that you'll like hearing the exahust, like music to your ears

So it more or less says Reving the **** out of the motor is not healthy.... While others say it is...
Interesting, but nothing that will ever make me rev the Living Crapp out of my motor

Same here. I say it'* okay, but as long as the car is up to temp and it'* kept to a minimum. I also would never go passed 60% of the RPM-range [3k for me]
