Actually, I have never dumped the clutch with the intent to light up the tires... however, my rex has since it's share of harsh torque steering... I dumped my last axle and outer cv in a 40 mph turn running from an RSX. Admittedly, harsh conditions but I have subjected this and past crxs to much worse to the point of 180's and 360's at full speed and never had any problems (never in this particular crx), the worse I've gotten is a busted brake line, which prompted their upgrade.
I guess a full suspension upgrade is on the horizon in the upcoming months...
