Even w/ Traction Control off...

I can sometimes feel some sort of "Traction Intervention"....Is this normal?

Steel Grey Metallic C63!!
Your "Traction Intervention" is the lack of traction from lighting up your rear tires. lol I just had the LSD installed in my car and it's like a night and day difference right now. It just puts the power down and GOES!!

You may be right...but it feels as if it hesitates for a brief second (like trac cntrol is on).

AMG's really should come with an LSD from factory. Not as an option, but as standard equipment.

now get some Nitto 555R's for daily driving and you can drive with ESP on and it will be like it off bc they grip so good

next time try the 285/35/18 Nitto 555R's DR's they are DOT approved and last longer then std tires bc they dont spin as much, unless you sit there spinning them then they last less

Great tip. I may try that after my next P0's go out -- I have slightly used ones sitting in the garage for the next round.
