I used to rev in neutral and drop it into drive for fun in my old 92 camaro 5.0. Couple of transmission mounts and a motor mount later I figured it wasnt such a good idea.

I also have heard that dropping down gears in an auto while driving is not so good, but switching gears up from a dead stop isn't so bad.
