Chirping tires is the sound of your axles not breaking. The tire connection to the road should always be the weakest link in the system so that you run out of traction before you run out of axle/transmission strength.
Driving your car hard is worse for it than taking it easy. I don't think chirping the tires is any different, but the specific act is a good thing vs. doing everything the same but with grippier tires that wouldn't chirp.

i feel bad that we're even within a state of each other.
you don't see everyone doing it every day right?
in life, as a general rule, if you have to ask if it's bad... it's bad.

Would you rev the car up to 3-4k rpm, then dump the clutch while the car is in second gear? Its the same shock on the drivetrain...
