Video - me doing a 0-60
Here's the video of one of my 0-60's on Rt. 7 near Lime Rock.
My best was 6.8 seconds.

Your car sounds very nice, I never thinked it sound like that
My father had a 98' CLK 200k with 192hp version (from factory) but it had the AMG exhaust and headers, sounded a little bit mechanic when he sold it last september with +-100000miles, but when new, it sounded very well, but not like yours, so clean and sporty

I asked about ESP because I remember reading here that even with it turned "off" via the console button, it was still active. I remember reading you had to go to some dyno mode to really turn it off.
Oh, and did you try any runs with ESP left on?
thanks!

you are correct, even with ESP off it is still partially on, I think the electronic limited slip and ABS are still active but if anything I thought the limited slip would help boost a take off because of better traction with both wheels. i should have tried putting the car in dyno mode, i know that disables all the intrusive fancy schmancy computer garbage. next time

A run with ESP on would be a joke, i hate even pulling out of a parking lot onto the street with it on, if you give it a little too much gas it makes the car hesitate in the middle of the road as you're trying to pull out! so dangerous if cars are coming!

The electronic limited slip you think of is simply sensors that detect wheel spin and applies the break to that wheel and/or cuts power... It is not an electronically controlled clutch plate in the diff which would be the best because it wont slow you down...

Very nice run, looks a lot like mine
. Specially the 2nd chirp when u dropped it into 2nd. Best times usually come from dropping it between 2k and 3k rpms. Anything over that and it'll spin for too long. And ESP will slow the car down, cause as soon as it detects the wheel spin it's gonna cut the power for a couple of sec, n then the engine will kick bak in, that's definitely 2-3 second loss. I definitely gotta get some more vids of my car, maybe next weekend :v

To fully turn it off, get into the MFD DYNO mode and that will disable all the electronic aids
