the thing about doing stuff like that isn't that it instantly destroys your car. it's more that your a lot of stress on a lot of different parts and are pretty much causing premature wear on them.

How long did he burn it for? If it was a few seconds he probably knocked off a few thousand miles off the life but it should be okay.
Clutches generally wear out early from a shit load of racing or abuse. On a new car you could probably abuse the crap out of it ALL the time and make it to ~35,000 miles.
