Maybe it's broken from the last time you did something stupid? It's probably best that it messed you up. The C230 can't even manage a chirp on decent tires in dry weather so you're really gonna have to abuse it to get this result. I'll look for your next posts to the tune of "Help!!! Diff making noises!" or "Power steering pump kaput!!"

C240
Just a thought, are you using minimal brake pressure? Because it's not lack of power. My C240 even did burnouts. No, I was not drinking. Or high.

You're telling me a C350 cannot pull this off?

I'm telling you a 135i can pull this off but not without me feeling like I'm REALLY abusing it. That's with 300lb-ft of torque at just off idle. So it's not a question of "if" but "why". It's not really designed to do that, so why do it?

Makes perfect sense. I guess I forget that the W203 is accessible to really young people with maturity levels of even younger folks. My bad.
