How about drop the clutch @ 4000RPM? would that burn rubber on a manual? for a C230

Fast Cars!

Go for it, i hear its really good for these cars, i think it adds like 25hp, almost the equivalent to adding a "Type R" sticker on your car.

John is right! I had a '01 Mustang GT and it could burn its tires into flying pieces of rubber. The roar of the engine! Oh, the inhumanity!! When I saw someone I didn't like, I would face the rear of my GT at them and cover them in molten rubber

With ESP off yes you will but also you will burn precious clutch material away! I was going to do it once, but found that just flooring it off the line with the right clutch action and minimal slip works just fine. I of course also power braked it when I first got it as well, but I toe-heal pretty good and the clutch was fully released! Only did it for about 5 seconds time as I like my tires. When I was taking it to get the new tires installed though there was plenty of rubber left on the way to the shop!!!!
