Peeling Out
#28
I cant beleive someone actually mentioned a Neutral drop on an Automatic.. Are you crazy??
I did that when i was 16 on my 190E 2.3.. Tore the tranny apart.. worked all summer to pay for a new one..
Stay away from the Neutral drop idea!

i tried peeling out over wet surface yesterday at the empty park (high winds pushed the water from the soccer field's sprinkler system to the parking lot). didn't work. i give up on it.
also, that neutral drop. wow that'll be crazy if i did that. i don't think i'd do that even to a loaner.
thanks guys anyway. i'll just have to go to my parents house and peel out in my mother's s500 if i want any 'thrills'

Best way is to hit the brakes to the floor, then floor the gas. Let off the brakes until the tires spin. I can actually power brake my 6 speed coupe, but must let off the brakes to get the tire to spin good. Once they break loose you can just let off completley and then take-off. The 240 should have enough power but you have to overcome the brakes so you have to let off them almost all the way. And yes if you had a 6 speed it is much easier to smoke them. I do not like buying new tires that often so I have to keep my cool when I drive the coupey!!!

sure...neutral drops are bad...but when youre this desperate to do something like a burnout this never fails!
My freind did it so many times on his C220 and nothing ever happened although it is very bad to do.
