Launching Problems

I have a 2004 C240, and the car does not go at all, I tried to launch it at a couple of stoplights and the rear tires just spin while trying to rev it up, how do you launch this car?

I guess the easiest thing you can do (if possible... I'm guessing here) is to change out the rear differential ratio. I think the C240 has a 3.46 ratio, but the C Coupes (2003 - 2005) have the 3.63 ratio. If you can change the pumpkin, then that should help with acceleration.
