Thumbs up burn out

for those of you who interested....i was curious if i could do a burn out...but i'm pretty nice to my car and don't do crazy shiat to it ( i remember someone did like driving 50 mile an hour and then put the car in reverese????!!! thats freakin retarded....but enough of that)....

so it was raining and i was at a friends so we took the car out and even with ESP off holding the break pushin the gas the car won't rev pass 1500 to 2000 before it drops...i was like WTF .... my engin is so wossy that it can't push....so i put it in Dyno mode...and hold the break press the gas.....and sure enough my tires came loos ....it was cool...just wanted to try it and check it...probably won't do it ever again... + it was rainin and i don't think i ate too much rubber....so if you the rubber burner kind get out and burn some

put it in first, turn off ESP with a nice slick road and you should have some nice burn outs.

This is so bad for your car in so many ways...

Honestly, the only 2 acceptable ways to burn out...

1. Have enough torque to light em up in an auto without holding the brake.

2. Drive a real car {stick shift} and let em rip.

Just my personal beliefs, but hey, im sure it was fun and I guess thats all that counts.

Mine breaks lose pretty easy, but mine is a manual and a 320.

This brings up a question I keep meaning to ask - what type of diff does the C series have - open, limited slip / posi?

The diff is open. Traction control is used to fake an lsd by applying the rear brakes. This sorry *** method is even used on the SL55 and all other AMG cars. I guess MB doesn't see the need for a real lsd.

I can smoke mine on dry pavement with a 6 speed and the 1.8 L M271 engine. They break loose very nicely when needed. With the ESP off of course.

The diff is open.
Just curious - if it's an open diff, shouldn't those be one wheel burnouts - look like good 2 wheel burn outs in those pic's. Am I missing something??

Traction control uses the rear brakes to fake an lsd. Just enough brake is applied to one side to send some torque to the other side.
