Donuts
Does doing donuts stress any components of the car, apart from the tyres! From time to time its fun sliding around.. but I'm concerned say the wheel hub or some connecting shaft may get unnecessarily stressed

If it stresses you, don't do it. OR do it and replace what you break. Just part of the deal! hahaha! HAVE FUN!!! you drive "arguably" the best drivers car on the planet.

But if that straight road is in the Northeast and is riddled with potholes, cracks, ruts and the occasional discarded muffler, then maybe no difference.

- A bit of clutch hurt, you have to give it enough revs to overwhelm the rear tires.
- Engine (burnouts put a good amount of load on the motor, but meh, just don't do 5 minute long burnouts.). - Diff (only if you're really wailing on it. Wouldn't really worry about it). Just make sure you keep those tires spinning, the energy has to go somewhere, and I'd rather it go through easily replaceable rubber than a clutch.
