hahahahahha
thats badass....but anyhow...WHY THE HELL did you do a burnout in the water box!!!! thats a real big NO NO for cars with street tires....your supposed to drive around it and keep tires DRY! ...water box is strictly for cars with slicks. Other than that nice run we need to see more benz's at the track =) were you power braking? and did you have traction on/off?

btw my C32 ran a 13.5

How do you get the tires to spin and smoke? Doesn't the Traction Control or ESP stop that or did you do something to disable it?

This is a video of me running against my friend in his chipped S4. I forgot to turn off ESP so after my car shot forward 2 feet, it just sat there for a while as it applied the brakes and cut power. So you can see where he gets a huge jump start, but I still almost catch up after 100 feet. The ground was really cold as well, you can hear the ABS kicking in while slowing down.
