It looked to be a bit more than an overheated transmission from the amount of smoke bellowing from the exhaust.

I reckon he was going at it for a while. Just imagine the heat build up in the convertor with it essentially being stalled up on the brakes for a minute or 2. Massive heat build up.
I'm not sure what impact timing retardation/fuel cut would have on the engine though. I guess these systems just aren't designed around doing it for excessive periods of time. 99.99999% of the time they would work for no more than 1 or 2 seconds.
It's so funny, cause one touch of a button and this thing would put on a massive smoke show. How could he have never heard of traction control?
